Thanks, Alex. I've been trying this out, but it appears the download at
http://www.macstumbler.com/airport.tar.gz is a folder containing the
pieces of the full script. It looks like it needs to be turned into a
Unix Executable File, but I don't know how to do that. Anyone here have
guidance on this?
Thanks.

" 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 tPercent
and 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
