	Can anyone suggest a way to have hypercard search a stack for a key
word and print a list of all the cards that contain the word in a field?
The discussion on reports seems to be something similar to the script I need,
but can anyone be more specific?  
	Once a list of the key words is found, I would like to be able to 
print the list or click on one of the items in the list to go to that
particular card.  Currently, I have am using the "find" button to search
through the stack for a specific item.  Where is grep when you need it most ??


			Thanks,
