Perhaps this will be of help. From the engine change log:

=============
The result of execution is reflected in 'the result'. This will  
contain "alternate language not found" if the specified language was  
unknown and "execution error" if a problem occured while running the  
script. If a problem did not occur, Revolution will evaluate the value  
of a global variable 'result' (if declared) within the scripting  
engine, if not declared empty will be assumed.

For example:
   do "result = 1 + 1" as "vbscript"
Will return "2" in 'the result'.

Note: At present only values that can be coerced to a string are  
supported when returning a value.
