I haven't worked much with this, so I'm just guessing, but I bet you 
have to build a statement using "do". For example:

put "tell application" &&quote& "HyperCard" &quote&& "to copy" && 
theItems && "to theItems" into myScript
do myScript as AppleScript

I think that should work. Rev supports only the "dosc" appleevent for 
script executions.
