Hi Victor,

RunRev traps the newCard, newButton, etc. messages for
a few reasons: to set default rectangle and similar
properties (if you just click, instead of dragging a
rectangle), and to update its properties palette, the
application browser, and the like.
So the only 'real' side-effect would be that these
don't get an update. However, that shouldn't be
life-threatening ;-)
