I don't understand what you mean. Both the TYPE and SELECT commands appear to function the same in Revolution as they did in Hypercard, in Hypercard type would be sent as though you typed it on the keyboard, so whatever object had the keyboard focus in Hypercard would get the text typed. The only difference is that Revolution doesn't do blindtyping. I wouldn't agree that "type" needs a "relation" to select, I might want a button that times something where my user chooses to focus the keyboard (i.e. They've clicked in the right field manually). So it isn't always the case to have to do a select.
