Sounds like the engine is evaluating the string before sending it to
HyperCard. So if the button is in the current stack, Rev is not sending
the string "the hilite of button 3" but rather is sending the actual
value of the hilite (say, "true") to HyperCard. Then HyperCard
cheerfully returns "true" as requested.
Try putting the request in quotes:
request "the hilite of button 3" from application "HyperCard"
or in a variable:
put "the hilite of button 3" into myRequest
request myRequest from application "HyperCard"
