plugin help wanted

Just before leaving for a 2 week snowboard adventure
I thought I'de make ya a nice plug-in to releave the
nagging prop palette section menu I've been wanting to
add. And have more creativity time than ide time!

For the life of me the palette is ready but it just doesn't
work as a plugin. (by now it would be at V2.0 with some sweet
ideas germinating!

I have (and this is my second attempt at a plugin) compared
every bit with the revexample. I filled a bug years ago to
mention that I couldn't catch the events... And I still haven't
heard from this bug. So maye someone has run into this challenge.

Options I chose in the plugin settings:

Open on startup or open from menu,
open as palette or modal dialog

None helps.

- as a palette the plug-in doesn't show up in the plug-ins menu anymore -
feature I guess!
- Actually there's a few more plugins I never see in the menu which must be
why (not very practical though)...

The trigger for this plugin is the

revObjectSelectionChanged

- Never happens or shows in the message watcher... but the event works fine
in the revexample (which never comes up in the recent stacks opened!!! Im
having a ball!

So what is going on? What am I missing?

Do I need to frontscript this on top the old hypercard way?
RevExample isn't in front or back script, and works damn fine!

I even tried removing all other plugins...

I opened the message box, went to add a download to my site and when I
clicked back RR, it just disappear and crashes! Would you bugzilla that?

Download it here, if it works for you let me know!

no, plugins are not in the documentation either...

Thanks in advance for any help and a great weekend to y'all!
