--If anyone has any experience in getting Rev/MC apps to make use of PC screen readers (such as Window Eyes) I'd like to communicate with them.

This is a good question about screen reader compatibility. A blind user should be able to access a Rev stack or standalone using the standard screen readers such as Jaws and Window Eyes for Windows, and Outspoken for the Mac.
I have access to JAWS, the most popular Windows screen reader, at work and so will check this out for you. There is a standard for creating accessible web sites. Not adhering to this standard (see the WAI initiative at the W3 site) really messes things up for screen readers. I wonder if there is a similar problem and need for guidelines for all the various xTalk programming environments.
No luck here with Rev & Window Eyes.
I've tried Rev with Window Eyes but not with JAWS so I am eagerly awaiting your results.
I sent a test app to the maker of Window Eyes (GWMicro.com) and here's the correspondence:

The controls that this language uses do not have any text associated with them that Window-Eyes can access. Are these standard Windows controls? Are there options to provide text labels of some sort? If not, I would look into implementing MSAA. You can find more information at www.microsoft.com/enable.

Still no luck. I think what might be the problem is the fact that neither the button or edit box is a unique control. They're both part of the same class of the whole window, that being MCWinClass. If each control is it's own separate window, then that will probably solve the problem.
Good luck!
