Yes, it will, you just write a Script in RunRev that gets the current  
path of the .app file, then just accesses it like it's a folder,  
e.g. /FULL/PATH/TO/APP/myApp.app/Contents/.....

Then access any or all files/folder in the package to your hearts  
content, as I said, no need to rename the file and it is dangerous to  
do so.
