Hi Steve,

Check the global 'gRevAppVersion' ; while your in the
IDE, 'the version' returns the MetaCard version ; but
I seem to recall from my HyperCard days, that it would
actually return the version of the app in standalones.
Not sure if that applies to MC/Rev, though.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
