Randall, I wonder whether you are not being confused by "Revolution" 
refering to two different things nowadays.

Revolution is parallel to Codewarrior as the IDE.
Revolution is parallel to C or SmallTalk as the language.

The language of Revolution used to be called Transcript, but not that 
long ago, RunRev decided to rename the language to Revolution.
