Since you seem to be making progress with the arrowkey issue, let me 
use the opportunity to mention the issue of backgrounds. You want to 
read on this in rev docs as this is an aspect of revolution which 
differs from hypercard, although it is possible to use rev's 
backgrounds in a fashion similar to hypercard. However, in many 
instances, what was achieved in hc with different backgrounds, one 
often does it in revolution with substacks. So, if you haven't 
ventured there yet, consider checking these out.
