iRev list of commands available

[Gregory Lypny]

Thanks Jacqueline,

This is good to know.  But like Thomas, I would very much like some  
sort of document that lists commands that are unique to iRev, RunRev  
commands that are not currently compatible with iRev, and syntax  
examples with tips like the very good one that you've provided here.   
It would save a lot of time in getting stuff out.

Regards,

	Gregory
