Hi John,

AS others have posted, there is nothing built in to the Rev engine to 
accomplish this.

However libIPC, authored by Jan Schenkel for the revolution_ipc 
group, <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revolution_ipc>, processes 
generic "IPC_Events" just as yoy describe.

All SDB client/server messages are formatted and processed as IPC_Events.

Hopefully, a future version of libIPC will support AppleEvent 
communication protocol in addition to TCP/IP.
