The reason I did not reply earlier when I saw the post is that I am interested but not very familiar with command line, etc. My take is that the environmental global variables $var are owned by apps and cannot be directly accessed, but require some sort of permission level code. The exception maybe the system globals can be accessed. Imagine your app changing a system $var from "Win" to "Mac"... not a good idea. "control Rev standalones" as you say, can be done by AS and VB if you build handlers to trap events sent to the standalone. This way you can 'set' and 'get' parameters and also trigger handlers from the command line. If we can get a good set of code and example stacks/apps, maybe we could add this discussion to the wiki.
