Send variables back to Rev from Applescript

[Thierry Arbellot]

Woaw, it becomes hard
I don't have the "Palm Desktop" app, then I can't test.

Anyway, let's try something (just an idea)
put the following line
get loopIndex
into the Applescript  just before the return.
I guess the get command put the variable (loopIndex) into the result

I hope it will work

Otherwise, you must have to learn Applescript ;-)
Here is the link to the online documentation:
