Anybody can say "This app is based on a Revolution stack and it sets 
secureMode at startup".  Anybody can lie.

What is needed is some way to exploit the -f or some other way to 
create the environment.  The user needs to be the one who controls 
whether a stack is run in an app in secure mode.

One can make an app that does set SecureMode and opens the specified 
stack.  It is awkward having to open a stack in a separate app, though. 
  Right now, Revolution Online stacks are not opened by a separate app 
or in any sandbox.

The only documentation I know of is the dictionary entry.

I don't know if/how/when the IDE breaks if secureMode is set.

(And not all file I/O is blocked, I think.)
