Doug,
if you launch your pc application via shell,
then when the user closes that application,
rev just has to continue working...
meanwhile while your app runs, rev is "blocked..."
I find the behavior hideous but at least it
does have ONE use...
The other way is to check every now and then if the
application quit via a shell("pstools! not exact syntax") from pstools or
the like. you can find pstools at
http://www.sysinternals.com
then
on Checkmyappisrunning
if "myapp.exe" is not in getappsrunning() then
-- do mything
quit
end if
send "checkmyappisrunning" to me in 2 seconds
end Checkmyappisrunning
function getappsrunning
return shell("plist" )
end getappsrunning
cheers
Xav
