If it's tricks you need look no further than Ken Ray's collection of Rev 
tips and tricks.  The index for his archive is in RevNet and at 
<http://www.sonsothunder.com/>, and the page in question is on the Web at:

It seems players are largely differentiated by audience, such as your 
stack with its buttons linked to the things you provide for your audience.

Hopefully a RunRev player would provide hooks for such index stacks to 
be used within it as portals, like RevNet already does with its 
inclusion of the Tools.MetaCard.com index/launcher stack.
