Alex, I just did your example, and I got:

   75  76

That was just dragging out a slider, setting the values as you identified,
and typing in the message box. I tested in 2.5.1 - what version of Rev are
you using? And if you're using 2.6, can you try in 2.5.1 and see if you get
a different result?
