Paul, even if this is true, there's more than one way to skin a cat. You could use a different communication mechanism (like opening a socket or datagram and sending messages via TCP or UDP) instead of Apple Events, so don't get discouraged.

Ken,

If this is true, I am screwed! I am committed to start converting a massive SuperCard project, running on 4 CPUs, to Revolution. In order to make this an orderly transition, I need to replace one software module at a time. This means communicating between Macs using AppleEvents, as SuperCard doesn't talk through sockets.

Why is this information in the dictionary if it hasn't ever worked? Since AppleEvents is not cross-platform, shall I presume it is a low priority for Runtiem Revilution Ltd and will probably NEVER work?

Here's a roundabout solution I just though of. How about a Rev stack running on each Mac, alongside the SuperCard. Then Rev can talk to Rev on the remote Macs via TCP/IP. Then the Rev on the remote Mac can resend the command via AppleEvents to the SuperCard app running on that same Mac.
