Sorry for the late reply, I had to do some traveling and couldn't
keep up with all the mail!
I have a stack that is used to generate AppleScript's based on
parameters entered by the user. Basically there is an AppleScript
template and I substitute the right parameters and then execute it.
The reason I would like to be able to pass back values from the
Application Script to RunRev is so I could display a "trace" as to
progress in the AppleScript and also as a debugging aid.
I could easily do as you suggest and use "tell myApp", but I'm not
quite sure how I would go about writing the RunRev handler. For
instance how would I pass the message "Hello World" from an
applescript and have it display this message at the end of a field in
RunRev?
Thanks a lot and All the Best
Dave
