Enhancements in your opinion?

However personally I'd like to see that message have an alternate 
version called "toolChanged" to go along with "nodeChanged", 
"selectionChanged", and "selectedObjectChanged".

And you could use the "startup" message to trap the starting up of your
standalone, since it is only sent to the first stack that is opened from 
the engine (either the first RevIDE stack (if in the IDE), or the stack 
opened first in your standalone).

Would these cover the bases of (1) for you?

To a fair degree, I certainly think so Ken. However, the advantage of my 
suggestion would be a greater unification between the "running" of the 
project and the "running" of the standalone. At the moment, projects and 
standalones (probably for historical reasons among others) seem to be 2 
sorts of animals requiring perhaps different programming procedures. 
This really does bother me. Of course, if "newTool" or "toolChanged" 
could be executed at the beginning of the standalone, it would achieve 
my objective.
