Here's where we get to the problem. I cannot seem to make a standalone
using Rev 2.6.1 that can access an XFCN. Searching the archives, I find
that Tim MacKenzie enquired on this topic in February this year, and

There is currently no OS 9 engine for the latest Revolution build, so
you will need to regress to 2.6.x to get that engine when buildling a
standalone. Once you have that and have built the standalone, open a
resource fork using ResEdit (or similar) and install the XCMD just as
you did with HyperCard. After that, usage is the same as in HC. Just
call the XCMD using the syntax you used in HC.
Seems simple... can't make it work.
It's supposed to work but I confess I've never had to try it. I've
always been able to convert XCMDs and XFCNs to scripts. The only thing I
can think of is that your external may not be the correct type. Support
for the XCMD interface in Rev Classic is limited to HyperCard type 1
externals (the very earliest ones.) Externals that are of the "newer" HC
type 2 format are not compatible. Type 2 externals are basically any
that were written after HC 2.0 was released.
