URL Scheme Handled by a Rev Application

[Andres Martinez]

Thanks Andre

I finally made it work by rebuilding the Launch Services database.

Now the part I don't know yet is how to receive the parameters in my  
Rev App.

For example if  the URL is   myapp:parameters

How can I read those parameters when the  system invokes the Rev App?
