Sorry for the late reply, I had to do some traveling and couldn't  
keep up with all the mail!

I have a stack that is used to generate AppleScript's based on  
parameters entered by the user. Basically there is an AppleScript  
template and I substitute the right parameters and then execute it.  
The reason I would like to be able to pass back values from the  
Application Script to RunRev is so I could display a "trace" as to  
progress in the AppleScript and also as a debugging aid.

I could easily do as you suggest and use "tell myApp", but I'm not  
quite sure how I would go about writing the RunRev handler. For  
instance how would I  pass the message "Hello World" from an  
applescript and have it display this message at the end of a field in  
RunRev?

Thanks a lot and All the Best
