I rarely think to set up menus at the beginning of stack development,

Paul,
Very good point indeed. In fact, IMO, the documentation is the most
critical component which needs 'help' in the IDE. More than once, I've
found myself going back to a previous version of Rev to access the old
stack-based documents.
I really like what Monte has done with the XML approach,
Alex,
You might want to check out MagicCarpet for version controlling your
stacks (if you haven't). It works as a plugin inside Rev. It allows you
to save notes on different versions and roll back to previous versions.
It doesn't do a diff/merge (yet).

With all due respect and credit to your amazing documentation, I could
