One big shortcoming, at least for me, is that there is no way to 
access Finder flags and file labels directly in Rev as far as I know 
(AppleScript is not a workaround for me because I need to manipulate 
these in large quantities and repeatedly).

I can use Rinaldi's externals to handle that in Hypercard (and that 
is what I continue to do), but the GetFInfo external crashes Rev/MC 
and, unfortunately, RR does not consider it an issue (see bug 855).
