How do you create a non-cgi, faceless, "command line" application?

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Would setting the visible property of the stack to false be enough to 
fix this, or will the program still complain if it cannot allocate the 
windowing resources on the system running the app?

If Rev does have a hard time with this, one workaround suggestion would 
be to set up an X server on the UNIX box (if it does not have one 
already) and point the DISPLAY environment variable to it, even though 
you will not be able to see the display, Rev will be tricked into 
thinking it has displayed the window.  There may be some authentication 
issues to take care of before this will work, though.
