A clue for using Valentina by XCMD

Can anyone give me some clues about using Valentina from Rev via the XCMD? I've been able to use it via the revdb functions with some limited success, but had some crashes (sadly not been able to pin down) and I think not everything can be done via the SQL interface - for example, I've not been

Are you using Windows or OSX. If you are I think you might need to type in the message box of the stack you are using set the externals of this stack to ./VXCMD_Macho_MC so that the stack knows to use the Xcmd (p 4 of the VXCMD docs). You have to quit Rev or purge the stack from memory and then

Thanks Andre, Klaus, and Robert (offlist) for your swift replies. For the benefit of anyone else tracking this in the list archives; Rev does ship with the VXCMD (although not necessarily the latest version); but in order to make use of it in your own stacks, you need to set the externals
