When does one use the COPY and PASTE script steps?
In my experience, I have never used the Copy and Paste script steps.
They have numerous disadvantages, such as deleting whatever was on
the user clipboard and requiring the field to be on the layout.

Nicholas,
Let's say the global name is Smith.
do a find; in the blank global name enter Smith, press enter
immediately go to the scripts command; create a new script - when
the window opens, you should see a find script step that will have
Smith in the global name field. name the script global names for
Smith.
You do the same procedure for all other criteria - another
example. You have date of 01/01/2007. enter find mode, in blank
field enter 01/01/2007,
press enter; go to scripts, create new script, window popsup, you
will see a find script step - the criteria will be set for 01/01/2007
copy and paste are different from find.

Subject: How to write a FIND script
If I want to fill several fields with find criteria, how would I
write a script to do it?
I can manually fill the fields of a layout in the FIND view and it
works. But I cannot figure out how to do it in a script. I thought
that the Copy and Paste statements for each field would do it but
it seems that the first Copy loads values that are not replaced
when I issue the second one.
I am using Filemaker Pro 5.5
