Thanks Richard. I had kind of come to that conclusion on my own, but
it's comforting to hear an authoritative opinion on the topic.
Developing such a palette will certainly be grist for a future
article on my Macinstuct.com column on Revolution. I finalize a cross
platform application begun this past week with this Wednesday's
column, so be sure to check it out.

Is there a way that Rev's Draw and Paint Control Palette can be
added to our own Stacks so that they will be available in the
standalones created later on? It would also be nice if its Tool
functions were also available.
The answer wasn't forthcoming probably because it's both yes and no.
As Transcript-driven parts, almost any stacks can be made to work
with any others. The question is whether it's worth the trouble,
or perhaps more cost-effective and user-oriented to craft something
specific for the task at hand.
The challenge of incorporating Rev's palettes is that they're tied
to Rev's development libraries, and the scope of interactions among
them is quite broad.
If you have an app in which you need drawing and painting tools,
it's probably better in terms of both the usability of the design
and the cost to implement it to just roll your own.
See these tokens in the Dictionary:
choose command
newTool message
tool global property
style window property
