The reason I did not reply earlier when I saw the post is that I am

the environmental global variables $var are owned by apps and

directly accessed, but require some sort of permission level code.
The
exception maybe the system globals can be accessed.
I'm mostly interested in command-line parameters when launching the
app (things like the path to a project file and the output path to
save the results to), which shouldn't require any permissions beyond
those needed to launch an app in the first place.
Imagine your app changing a system $var from "Win" to "Mac"... not
a good idea.
To be honest, the environmental variables part has me stumped (and
doesn't apply to Windows anyway). I *think* it means that you can set
the value of globals but it's not totally clear. Some test stacks
will probably make things clearer.
"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.
What I know about Visual Basic could be written on a postage stamp
and leave rather a lot of room. :-(
I've been through a fair amount of the docs regarding AppleScript,
but there doesn't seem to be anything regarding VB. Any pointers?
If we can get a good set of code and example stacks/apps, maybe we
could add
this discussion to the wiki.
Always good! The wiki was set up while I was away at a conference,
until you mentioned it and I dug back through the archive I didn't
even realise there *was* one...
