Correct. Entries are text describing a useful item of information. To these 
you can attach files (ie. stacks or any document you like). If you attach a 
file, it imports a compressed copy and stores it inside the Scrapbook. The 
'Files' icon will change to indicate when an entry has an attachment. Note that 
attaching files inevitably makes your Scrapbook bigger... See the Help for 
alternative ways to link to and access useful stacks, files and documents without 
bloating the Scrapbook beyond reason!

Correct on all counts: The Scrapbook saves automatically on exit for you, 
although there is Ctrl/Cmd.S to save manually at any time; if you want to use the 
Scrapbook independently of Revolution, you would need a Player; the updated 
version is once again properly PlugIn compatible and is available now.
