Are you sure that what you want from the PC-ONLY Active-X can't be done in native Transcript and custom made controls?
I once was quite attached to what I could do (had to do) with XCMDs in Hypercard as you are with 'Active-X' until I found Rev. So far I haven't needed any externals.
The more we use 'pure transcript' for applications, the better off we'll be -- as developers, users and sharers of techniques...in a cross-platform way..

Are there any plans to add ActiveX support to metaCard/RunRev? It seems like a no brainer since it would improve compatibility with legacy ToolBook apps, and since there is already support for the Mac-only XCMD standard. Adding ActiveX support would open up access to thousands of extremely useful ActiveX controls that have been developed for all sorts of purposes.
but only for those on Windoze PCs!
I decided to get RunRev because I wanted somethign that I could use to teach my daughter progamming concepts -
your daughter should learn Transcript! Active-X won't teach her anything!
I have not idea how to *really* program though, so creating my own Rev externals is pretty much out of the question, even though a lot of the ActiveX things I am interested have source code and could probably be adapted to RunRevs externals architecture, I ddon't have the skill to do that myself..being able to access ActiveX would allow me to do a whole bunch of neat stuff that I can't do on my own.
