Thanks for the reminder.  I also wrote a lot of replacement handlers 
when I first took up MetaCard, but ss was one I had to let go because, 
unlike HC and SC, MC/Rev's script editor isn't modal.

Ss is able to walk through the occurrences because editing a script in 
HC stops all other execution.  Not so with Rev, so if you wrote it 
correctly it would just open up multiple script editors all over the place.

I made a utility to find stuff for me, with the extra bonus that it 
searches either a stack or everything in the current message path 
(including frontScripts, libraries, and backScripts).

It's available in RevNet - in Rev see Development->Plugins->GoRevNet, 
and once you're in look in Stacks for "4w_ScriptSearch.rev".


BTW: How does ss relate to the mouseControl?
