Yes... the reason is that MetaCard still contains a number of resources in
the "resource fork" of the application, including the all-important "aete"
(AppleEvent Terminology) resource. Revolution doesn't contain this "aete"
resource. If you use ResFool to copy the 'aete' from MetaCard to Revolution,
I'm sure it will become "visible" to Script Debugger X, et al...
