Here is a trick that works with simple constant parameters:

   call "return bumpIt(17)" of button "Test"
   put the result into field "Report"

Also, if you have control over the script of the object, use a handler 
and use return in the handler.  To use it use send (not in time) and get 
the result with result().  This is much better in that it is not limited 
to constant parameters.

Any better methods???  It would be cool to call a function in any object.
