Revlet alternatives for launch, shell, externals, applescript, etc.

[Richard Miller]

I thought I would report that Kevin helped me solve this issue by 
pointing out that launch, shell and applescript currently work in a 
revlet as long as the appropriate security settings are check-marked in 
the Standalone Settings dialog. I probably should have caught that on my 
own earlier, but since I missed it, perhaps others might as well. 
Changing those settings enabled these three functions to work fine in a 
revlet (which gave me access to externals support through the back door 
by allowing the revlet to launch a separate invisible Rev standalone 
which had externals enabled).
