I suspect the answer to how to do all of this (other than
whatIWantNotWhatISaid, which would be way cool, Jeanne!) lies in the
OSA - Open Scripting Architecture. You can get a basic view of this at
http://tinyurl.com/64hmu (I TinyURLed it because the true URL is 127
characters long). As far as I know, this is an Apple-only technology
but something compatible may have been developed on Windows.

Rev allows AppleScript via the "do ... as AppleScript" command.
Perhaps this could be extended to support things like
do ... as Python
do ... as Ruby
do ... as AmericanEnglish ;-)
or whatever?
I'm holding out for "do...whatIWantNotWhatISaid". ;-) Seriously, the
"do as applescript" capability is based on Apple's Script Language
Interface, which means if someone wrote a module for Python, etc. then
those languages would automatically become available from within Rev.
(I think there's a module floating around that implements Javascript,
and one or two others besides AppleScript.)
