RunRev AppleScript Question

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

myStackShortName is part of the string, it isn't parsed by  
AppleScript. I suppose Rev can't find stack "myStackShortName".

Here's an example that works.

I have a stack "Untitled 1" with the following script:

on foo theString
    beep
    put theString
end foo

and I made this AppleScript:

set myScript to "send \"foo\" && quote & \"Hello World\" & quote to  
stack \"Untitled 1\""
tell application "Revolution" to do script myScript

If run this script from within Script Editor, I hear the beep and the  
message box contains "Hello World".
