Version 2.0 of Script Manager "documents"
a new script interface routine called FindScriptRun.
The thing is supposed to take a pointer to a block of
character codes and to return the first contiguous
script block within that text. 
The obvious question is: How does it determine which
script a character code belongs to?
I see no way this can be done. After all, characters do
not belong to any particular script, fonts do.

Could one of the authors of that documentation 
(Mark Davis, Sue Bartalo or John Harvey) be
kind enough to clarify that point for us, please.
