The only way I can override is via a front script but ideally I would be able to get the result of the function being overridden, amend it and then return my amended result.

Hi, Monte.  Here’s a way to write the handler for your front script:

function getLines
    if item 2 of line -2 of the executionContexts is "getLines" then
        pass getLines
    else
        return "Hello" & cr & getLines()
    end if
end getLines

It works for me.  Does it work for you?
