URL Scheme Handled by a Rev Application

[Andres Martinez]

Thanks again Andre

I was confused thinking that I needed to create an AppleScript but  
then I figured out that the script you provided is to include into my  
Rev project, correct?

Is there any way of getting these same parameters on Windows Rev  
applications?
