Best Practices in Rev development

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

I agree, much cleaner and easier to follow and write, so long as you  
don't forget to exit each of the case statements so as not to have  
subsequent ones executed as well. I believe this is a feature in Rev,  
though I'd prefer if it weren't.
