This question keeps coming up (lots of new users?) and the answer is
routinely. Open Rev then use "go url" in the message box... Not the most
convenient since I am not a full time coder and I rarely have Rev open. So
opening it and copying and pasting into the message box seems a hassle.
So.... since no one has said the obvious, I will.

If you ever click a url in the revlist email or as in this case click on a
link on a "Rever's" website and end up with a web page full of Transcript
and/or gibberish..... Particularly one that starts with:

#!/bin/sh
# MetaCard 2.4 stack
# The following is not ASCII text,
# so now would be a good time to q out of more

... a simple "Save Page AsŠ" works to save the file locally.  A quick double
click on that will then open the file in Rev...  Much more convenient in my
mind. Not only that but it lets me go back to the file when I have a spare
moment and actually take the time to enjoy working with it.

Only one caution....make sure to keep the ".rev" or ".mc" extension if you
want to preserve double-click opening (Safari (Mac OS X) sees the file as a
text file and asks if you'd like to add a ".txt" extension on the end.. Not
a good idea). 

Hope this helps...

Jim
