Scott, instead of putting empty into the line that has the name you
want to delete simply use the delete command
 delete line x of field "foo"
 
I assume you are using the find command to find the name to remove. If
so, then you can use the value returned by the FoundLine() function.
Specifically:
 find x in field "foo"
 if the result is not "not found" then
   get the foundline
   delete line (word 2 of it) of field "foo"
  end if
  ....
 
As to scrolling fields check out the Power Tools stack and see how it
is done there.  That shows one way to do it effectively.
 
Hope that helps...
