RR/MC mixup (was 'Ken's recent bad day')

I've been following this thread, and agree it's sometimes confusing.

My plugin suite at:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/NewPlugins.htm

Prints to the message box when RR launches the following:

RunRev version: 1.5 A1 r1
MetaCard engine version: 2.4.2
Build Number: 2

it does this with the following function:

on answerVersion
  if exists(stack "revMenuBar") then
    put "RunRev version: " & revAppVersion() & return & "MetaCard engine
version: " & the version & return & "Build Number: " & the buildNumber into
theMsg
  else
    put "MetaCard engine version: " & the version & return & "Build Number:
" & the buildNumber into theMsg
  end if
  put theMsg
end answerVersion
