Apple script problems

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Jim,

HyperCard is totally AppleScriptable. If you open the Apple Script 
Editor and then Open dictionary... you can see the list of commands 
that HyperCard responds to. Revolution has no such dictionary and does 
not respond directly to AppleScripts. You can probably do it yourself 
by writing an AppleEvent handler that responds to a dosc event (do 
script).

However in the current case, you don't need to use AppleScript.
Shorten your AppleScript to this:

tell application "filemaker Pro5"
  get every record
  set theResult to result
  return theResult
end tell

In your Rev button, have this script:
On mouseUP
  do field "theScript" as applescript
  put the result into field "data"
end mouseUp

Cheers,
Sarah
