Found this info:

" For those who are interested, I found a way to show airport signal strength (and other airport info). Download this airport CLI tool (http://www.macstumbler.com/airport.tar.gz) and find a place for it (I put mine in /usr/local/bin). After that, it's pretty easy. This is the script that I ended up using, it uses backslashes for a 10-bar display, then shows the percentage."
/usr/local/bin/airport | awk 'NR == 2 {for (a=10;a>0;a-=1) if ($1 / 10 < a) printf("`"); else printf("\\"); print " " $1}'

Can sometime tell me how to convert and use this from Rev?
Sorry this is untested - no Unix available - but if I remember right .....
this is taking the output from the "airport" program, and piping it into an awk script which takes the second line of input and uses the first token (word) of it as a percentage value. So all you need is
put shell("/usr/local/bin/airport") into tMyVar
put word 1 of line 2 of tMyVar into tPercentand then do whatever you want with that value, probably something like if tPercent < 50 then beep answer info "You are out of wireless range !" with "OK" end if
