(These fields were on different backgrounds.) You'll probably find that
field "test" and field "TEST1" have the same number. It seems that
HyperCard translates your specified field name into a number and proceeds
to find occurences in any field with that number regardless of name. So,
you'll have to check in the script to see if a find takes place on the
proper background.
