At 09:38a -0400 08/22/2006, Bill Steele didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:

[snip]
>What's fun is that it works in some scripts and not in others. It
>turns out that "@" is a wildcard character in Filemaker searches, so
>in some scripts I split the address and just look for the first
>part. If I don't, the script gives me "event not handled." But
>another script searches for the entire address, @ and all, and it
>finds the record anyway.

>In another script, by experiment I found that "john.smith" gives an
