[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Find: script vs. message box

Someone recently asked me why "Find" works differently from a script than
from the message box. In particular, if I "find" something, then do another 
"find" from the message box, the next one is found, but from a script it
re-finds the same one. Why? From the horses mouth:

If the script does anything that causes the "find" outline rectangle on the
screen to disappear, it will start the find again on the same card. Otherwise,
it will find the next one. What causes the rectangle to disappear? I'm afraid
it's currently undocumented.
