How to start this project...

[Adrian Williams]

I decided to start with a simple function,
before getting involved with what to do with the return value....

So... I made a new main Stack: lookup.rev,
created three fields: editedText, input, output,
and a button to run the script.

ABC is first line of 'input' field.
123 is first line of output filed.
in field editedText, ABC is entered.
Button is pressed.
Result: "Error in handler"
Hint: function.

This function should work in its own right - yes?
