	First I would like to thank everyone that replied to my last
plea for help.  I have a script searching a stack and finding a list of a
user input string.  But, I am having one last problem.
        Right now, the stack is searching for the string and when found,
it is placing two field's from the card (with the found string) onto the
Cardlist.  The problem is that all the cards in the stack do not contain the
fields that I am placing in the Cardlist.  Thus, if a match is found in a card
where the fields are not present, a dreadfull error message is given.
        What I am looking for is a script that can check to see if a field
is present before doing the search on the particular card.  It probably can be
done with a variable, but I am a neophite to hypertalk.
 
 
                        Thanks again,
