Python and Rev

[Dan Shafer]

I suspect the answer to how to do all of this (other than 
whatIWantNotWhatISaid, which would be way cool, Jeanne!) lies in the 
OSA - Open Scripting Architecture. You can get a basic view of this at 
http://tinyurl.com/64hmu (I TinyURLed it because the true URL is 127 
characters long). As far as I know, this is an Apple-only technology 
but something compatible may have been developed on Windows.
