By far the easiest way to handle this would be by exposing Transcript  
to your users. Send an email to the rev crew directly regarding your  
needs. The ten-line limit in executables is an artificial limit  
designed to prevent you from creating your own development  
environment in Rev and distributing it. It happened with SuperCard  
many years back. In the past, the rev crew have expressed at least a  
willingness to consider a separate license specifically to cover a  
situation like yours.
