Charlie Look for interfile navigation routines that do not Refresh after arrival. This converts to SelectWindow after conversion. Otherwise FMP File A will tell File B to go to Data Entry screen but will not bring it to the foreground, all you see is File A and you think the script failed.
Long bunches of SetFields will want an ExitRecord step - this converts to Commit on conversion. Windows PageSetup and Print steps all need examination - less so on Macs - as they often convert dirty.
