Help with AppleEvents

What is up with this?

I have spent the day trying to figure out why the following statement 
works in SuperCard but NOT Revolution. I want to communicate with 
SuperCard on a remote Mac named "Remote Mac". SuperCard is running on 
that Mac. I execute the following statement from Revolution on my 
local Mac:

send beep to program "Remote Mac:SuperCard" without reply

The result in Revolution is "no such program". If I run SuperCard on 
the SAME machine and execute this very same statement , the remote 
Mac beeps. If I issue the following statement from Revolution with 
SuperCard running on the local machine, I get a beep:

send beep to program "SuperCard" without reply

If I optionally add the name of the local machine to the Rev 
statement above, the result is once again, "no such program". If I 
send the beep command to Rev from SuperCard on the local machine, 
using the optional name of the local machine does not cause a problem 
and Rev beeps. Seems like Rev 2.1 has an error in parsing the 
computer name in the program address. Is this possible?

I have no problem sending the beep command TO Revolution on the local 
Mac FROM SuperCard on the Remote Mac.

When I issue the statement:

do "choose application" as AppleScript

... I get the expected dialog showing Remote Mac as one of the listed 
machines and SuperCard as one of the listed programs running on it. I 
have tried using the asterisk for the zone, "*:Remote Mac:SuperCard", 
but still results in "no such program".

This is sooooo basic, what am I missing?
