I'm new with greasemonkey and i've been using another way for calling Remote Pages Scripts, making use of "window.location.href", example: Calling a function: window.location.href="javascript: RemotePagefunction("+arguments+")"; Changing a var: window.location.href="javascript: void(localvar='foo')"; With this method you can't receive parameters from the function.

  You are reinventing bookmarklets... :-)
  I didn't tried, but can't you write:
  window.location.href="javascript: void(returnValue = RemotePagefunction("+arguments+")");
  to get the return value?

  I think yes, but to access the var "returnValue" you would need to use "unsafeWindow.returnValue", so once you use it the easiest option would be:
  
  var returnValue = unsafeWindow.RemotePageFunction(arguments);
