Well, if you are using a "normal" browser, the only thing I can think of is
to have the button in the web page call a CGI which stores some information
and have a front-end Rev app query the CGI periodically to see if it is
received the "call" from the browser.

However, if you want to *embed* the browser into a Rev stack using Chipp's
altBrowser, you could do this by creating a "fake" url to go to, which
altBrowser can trap and you can take action based on it.

There may be other ways, but those are the only ones I've thought of so far.
