Thanks for the info.  I was curious about this, so I created a non-admin 
account with Parental Controls, and tried to assign my Rev-based app to 
it.  I got a prompt that said that app was unable to be used with that 
account type.

So I then modified the plist within that app's bundle, and a key and 
string as you noted, and I get the same prompt.

What needs to be done to make an app usable with Parental Controls?
