You can make a "stub" handler to route revGoURL to the new "launch URL" 
command - just add this to the stack script:

on revGoUrl pUrl
   launch url pUrl
end revGoURL


I'm surprised Rev hasn't maintained compatibility for their handler, but 
Sarah, if you have time to update that tutorial stack just send it to me 
at your convenience and I'll replace the one at revJournal.com.
