MySQL: .rev main stack called from standalone rev app

[James.Cass at sealedair.com]

Woohoo!  That did it!  I also added a "stop using..." in my "on close 
stack".  Is that recommended?

THANK YOU!!

I imagine that the revdb external is being applied to to the stack
(splash) that is being used  to create the executable.  In your client
stack start using the stack that was used to create the exe.  So if
your splash stack was named "mySplash" then in your client stack do
something like this:

start using stack "mySplash"

This will make the revdb calls available in the message path.
