Okay. :) Yes, if the stack is copied to the PC as a binary file (not a 
text file) then Rev can open it directly.

I've answered Debbie in tech support, but basically I think her problem 
is quite normal. HC stacks usually generate a number of errors unless 
their scripts have been tweaked to accomodate the differences in the two 
languages. I sent her a link to my conversion tutorial, which discusses 
almost all the usual conversion issues.
