My problem is te same, and as I a not among the happy few who use 
Enterprise, I cannot yet test but I wonder wether the url of the app on 
the net can be found from inside the revlet.
I tried to find the url on mac with Safari, and I suppose all browsers 
store the files they download according to the same rules.

The file stored by the  browser contains the url whic it has been 
downloaded from.  With this URL it should be possible to find the nime 
of the folder containing the file and then build the urls of the 
"resources".

The first line of the files can be read from the message box with this 
little handler :

  answer file "choose a file"
   put it into tfile
   open file tfile for binary read
   read from file tfile at 1 until cr
   answer it
   close file tfile


 From the files I looked at, it seems that :


--> When the ascii code of char 14  is 94 (decimal) then " Full Page 
TextName" appears among the 34  first characters, and the ascii code of 
the thirty fith character gives the length of the url. The url begins at 
the thirty-sixth character.

--> When  the ascii code of char 14 is  95 (decimal)  then the ascii 
code of the fifteenth  character gives the length of the url and the url 
begins at the sixteenth character.


This does not allow to write a neat and handsome handler, and it is 
surely too simple.  I don't know what happens if the url is very long.  
Any help will be appreciated.
Do anyone know exactly how the header of the file is built , especially 
when it is a revlet ?
Can I hope to fetch my own "resources" on the server when I will put on 
it my app and its quicktime movies ?
