It depends what scripts you want to edit - you can turn on the option to
show Rev frontScripts and backScripts in the Message Box which give you
access to some of the main "libraries".  You can turn on the "Show Rev UI
Stacks in Lists" option in the view menu, and also the option to allow
editing of scripts and the display of contextual menus on Rev stacks in the
Preferences.  At this point you have access to everything - Command Shift
right click a Rev stack to get a context menu, for example.  Be very careful
editing or viewing these scripts: if you break something we don't provide
support.

To lock stacks for use as a Plug-in, use the "Build Files" option in
Distribution Builder and set a password.  Don't copy any development
resources.
