My experience coming from Hypercard to Rev was completely the opposite. 
  I was awed by how easy it was for someone who knew HC to begin 
creating new stacks in Rev.  Within a day, I was happily creating new 
stacks and exploring how Rev worked.  And perhaps that explains why my 
experience was different from yours--rather than try to convert my old 
stacks, I simply started by creating new ones.

The only thing I had trouble getting my head around was how to create 
HC-like backgrounds for cards. And, of course, the IDE takes a little 
getting used to.

In any event, you might find life easier if you started by creating new 
stacks instead of trying to convert old ones.  Then, once you have the 
hang of it, you can try the conversions.  Worth considering anyway.

BTW, I have yet to get around to converting any of my old stacks, but 
that is primarily because they all had color backgrounds so every card 
will have to have the addColor routines removed.  No fun.
