MVC (was Text database using custom properties)

[Dan Shafer]

Dave....

Short answer (and admittedly over-simplistic) is that Rev doesn't lend
itself to MVC app design and construction. To do true MVC you need an
object-oriented environment, which Rev decidedly is not.

If you want to take the project you describe to MVC, I suggest you look at
an MVC-based app framework. It'll save you tons of time.

But since that's not about how to use Rev, I'll shut up now.
