If you're talking about the ability for Rev to know that a script has been
edited by an external editor, then the answer is "yes". The plugin for Rev
exports the current script to a file, calls on the external text editor to
edit it, and then watches the file to see when the md5digest of the file
changes. When you save your changes in, say, TextMate, when you return to
Rev, the script is automatically re-inserted into the object whose script
you were editing if the md5digest changed.

If you meant something else, let me know...
