Geoff and Monte,
Based upon your replies (excerpted below), it looks like a transition to
Revolution would be even smoother than I imagined! I've just completed the
first tutorial, and it's clear that it will be difficult to exhaust the
capabilities of this tool. I'll definitely investigate those tips! I also
appreciate Runtime Revolution for making this e-mail resource available -
it's been a tremendous help so far.
Sincerely,

Why the distinction? What Mac-specific and PC-specific things can't be made
to share one project? Have a look at the Profile Manager, and see if it
won't meet your needs. (I know it amazed me the first time I examined it!)
Regards,
Geoff
