Yes, you can. Have the AppleScript end with a "return" and in Rev,
check "the result".

Here is my function for checking any application:

function isAppRunning pAppName
    put "tell application " & quote & "System Events" & quote & cr into tScript
    put "return (exists application process " & quote & pAppname &
quote & ")" & cr after tScript
    put "end tell" after tScript
    do tScript as AppleScript
    return the result
end isAppRunning


HTH,
