Hi Mark,
I can certainly relate to how you're feeling - as I recall, I described it as entering a house very similar, but not exactly like your own - and then finding yourself in a closet when you thought you were entering the lavatory.
The good news is that it does get considerably easier with the help of the many good people on this list. And take it from this old scripter, you WILL find that RunRev is immensely more powerful and versatile than our old friend Hypercard.
As it was pointed out to me, it's a good idea to remember that Revolution is a very young application, and is far ahead of where Hypercard was at a similar time after its introduction. All of the add-on goodies you're used to with Hypercard will likely come in relatively short order.
So be a little patient, not only with RunRev, but with your own learning curve.
Good luck!
Alan
