That is rather misleading, unless you mean to say that one must actually 
rename the file, changing its extenstion form .mc to .rev. If so, this is 
not correct. 

Under Win XP Pro, do this:
1. Launch Rev
2. From the Toolbar, click Open or
  from the File menu select Open stack... or
  press Ctrl+o.
  The Open Stack dialog is displayed.
3. On this dialog, navigate to the drop-down-list box Files of type: and 
click the arrow.
  The list of file types is displayed.
4. From the list, select All files or Metacard.
  The dialog updates to enable display of the files of the type selected.
5. Have at it...
