Apple scriptable standalones

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

Making a little progress here, but can anyone tell me how to return a 
boolean value to AppleScript using Rev's "reply" command?  I can't seem 
to get this to work.

I tried things like "reply false" and "reply 0" but this did not work.

Or is there a different command for replying with boolean values?
