Mark,

I am betting here okay, but try pulling the executable out of MacOS X  
bundle and using it as the CGI engine, use it with the "-ui"  
parameter. It works fine. I just pulled mine, put it on /Library/ 
WebSever/CGI-Executables and created this test.cgi script:


#!Revolution -ui
on startup
put "Engine Version:" && version() & cr
put "Languages:" && the alternateLanguages
get format("tell application \"Finder\"\ndisplay dialog \"Hello World! 
\"\nend tell\n")
do it as "applescript"
put it && the result
end startup


The result is fine:

Engine Version: 2.6.5
Languages: applescript
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Hello World!"
end tell
{button returned:"OK"}

Decided not to include the shot of the dialog box but it appeared  
nice!!!
Happy AppleScripting and Transcript coding.

Cheers
andre
