Hi Rob, Since Apple released System 7, AppleEvents have been used for these purposes : the Finder will launch the application, and send an appleEvent of type "odoc" and class "aevt" -- so you can use that information within Revolution. Other applications that I know that support drag'n'drop from the desktop, will open a screen that says what the application will do -- and then let the user drop a file onto that window in case the application was just double-clicked.
