I won't tell you to shut up if you are willing to compile all that you 
are learning about this and 'post' it somewhere in a logical sensible 
way. That way I can follow your path and learn to do it when my need 
arises (I know it will).

I think the lack of docs on it are because it involves a lot more than 
just REV knowledge. Maybe you can be the one to put this all down. You 
seem to be very articulate.


Looking forward,

Tom
