The key to your 'brain buster' is the concept of 'allow drag and drop' within Rev. There are many example stacks of this at work. One of them is Scripter's Scrapbook, which has elevated this to a high art of links, categories, searching modes, hilting found text, and much much more. I used to put most everything in Scripter's Scrapbook.rev in the early days, then moved to a different, lees automatic organization system. There are days when I wish I could have some of the fabulous features that Hugh put into his work. Also consider that Rev has its own library of email send and receive, so you could even imagine doing without an email program. Think about a Rev stack/substacks that read, compose, distribute, catalog all email activity. No limit to the rules and features you could add. I just added SMTP + a drag-drop email list interface to a small app I built for a client who only needed to send to several groups (SMTP only). Each card stores the set of groups for that card, so that any emails done here get sent accordingly. Unlimited cards = unlimited combinations. To take someone off all lists (leaves the company) is a simple repeat loop through all the cards. Sarah Riechelt http://troz.net/Rev/misc.php RevGZ.rev This is a stack that uses Rev's built-in compression routines to compress and expand any file. The latest version allows drag & drop but the drag hilighting may not always go away properly if you move off the buttons. It is stored as a zip file, so you can open it first, in order to open all the other gz files Hugh Senior http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk/testimonials.html http://www.flexiblelearning.com/xtalk.htm Others are out there, and hopefully they will chime in.
