Someone earlier recommended an even better way to copy/paste a Filemaker script 
in 
text form for sharing with others:

1. Go to scriptmaker in Filemaker, select the desired script, and click "Print"
2. Click "Preview" in the print dialogue box
3. In the print preview window, copy the text of the script, then paste

Using the above procedure, here's the ultra-simple script I wrote (suggested by 
a kind 
member of this listserve) to show a single record selected from many in a list 
layout:

Show All Records 
Omit Record 
Show Omitted

Here's another script, showing more detail provided by the using the "print, 
preview" 
method above:

Go to Layout [ Future work ] 
Enter Find Mode 
Set Field [ Status, "Intake" ] 
New Record/Request 
Set Field [ Future Work, "Check" ] 
New Record/Request 
Set Field [ Future Work, "Maybe" ] 
New Record/Request 
Set Field [ Future Work, "Yes" ] 
New Record/Request 
Set Field [ Future Work, "Renewal" ] 
Perform Find 
[ Replace Found Set ] 
Sort [ Sort Order: Next Contact Date   (Ascending)Wait List Date   
(Ascending)Course 
Name   (Ascending)Future Work 
(Descending)Date created   (Ascending)Record Type   (Ascending)Subject   
(Ascending) ] 
[ Restore sort order, No dialog ]

No need to fool around with Acrobat, etc. Just use the print button in 
scriptmaker in 
Filemaker, and the preview button in the print dialouge box to show the script 
in copyable 
text form.
