If you use something like GetWord () to pick up some text from the screen, 
you can then convert that to an integer before doing the comparison.  So 
assuming you have moved the cursor to the appropriate point on the screen, 
your code might look like:

Var
  string sScreenText,
  int iNumber

let sScreenText = GetWord ()
let iNumber = StringToInt (sScreenText)
if (iNumber > 7) then
; do whatever is necessary
else
; handle the case where iNumber <= 7
endif

The function to produce a beep is beep ().

  If you are writing your code using the Script Manager, then hitting 
control+i will show you a dialog which lists all the available functions, 
and by tabbing and arrowing around, you can read some information about what 
the selected function does, what it might return, the values needed for its 
parameters, etc.  When you fill in the various fields in this dialog, the 
appropriately formatted function will be entered into the code you are 
writing in Script Manager.

 This is like a mini-FSDN, but available without leaving the Script Manager.
