     Is there a way to search for non-blank records in a script?  Actually,
I need to search for records that are not blank in fields W, X, Y, or Z, but
all records will have data in fields A,B,C, and D.
 
      I can't even figure out a way to get Filemaker to perform a search for 
a pre-defined string when running a script.   There must be a way to do this, 
because there are many applications I can see where you would want a button to
find all occurences of something and print a report.

      Also, is there a way to make FMP2.0 print a report to a file instead of
the printer?  I could save quite a few trees each month with this feature.

Thanks much,
