Thanks, Richard and others.
Can you tell me what the mime type is for Safari? Something like application/x-rev?
By the way, who decides the official mime type designation? Who decided, for example, that the mime type for MS Excel documents is application/vnd.ms-excel? Is there a registry somewhere, or do they just "evolve" into a standard?
The topic of creating web-enabled apps in Rev is of great interest to me right now; I'm going to give a conference presentation later this year on Internet-enabled applications at a Symposium of foreign language educators. The working title is "The Browser is Dead; Long Live the Web". Of course I am going to be talking about how easy it is to create web-savvy apps in Revolution. I have read Richard Gaskin's excellent article on the subject, and I would welcome anyone's input who has experience/ideas on this topic.

have a user click on a stack link in my web page and have it launch,
instead of merely download or even try to show the contents in the web
page. Like happens when you click on a pdf link.
You can do this by adding the appropriate MIME type in the prefs for any
browser -- except Apple's Safari. :(
I use Mozilla and I just launched stack files from my Web site. :(
Th MIME types are there somewhere, only it seems Apple didn't provide an
interface for editing them. There must be a way to hack this very basic
functionality -- anyone know how? :\
