Thanks, Sarah. That seems to work fine. Much appreciated.
Still looking for ideas on the volume boost from anyone else.

Hi Richard,
Looking for ideas on how to accomplish two functions from within Rev:
1. Read the status of the internal battery (i.e. % charged);
I can't help with the volume boost, but here is the script I use for
reading the battery charge in an iBook. It requires the shell command
"battery" which you can download from
<http://www.mitt-eget.com/software/macosx/>. I couldn't get that link
to work this morning, so if you want the shell command, let me know
off-list and I can email you a copy.
I put it into the "/usr/bin/" folder but you can put it anywhere you
like if you send the full path to the shell function. It can give you
a whole heap of info - run it in Terminal and check the help, but the
function below just returns the percent charge or "n/a" if there is no
battery.
-- check battery level using OS X shell command
-- battery script needs to be in /usr/bin/
--
-- returns percent charge or "n/a"
--
function batteryLevel
if isOSX() then
put shell("battery csv") into tBatt
put last item of line 1 of tBatt into tPercent
put item 4 of tBatt into tFlags
if char 6 of tFlags = 0 then
-- no battery connected
put "n/a" into tPercent
end if
else
-- OS 9 can't use shell commands
put "n/a" into tPercent
end if
return tPercent
end batteryLevel
Cheers,
Sarah
