Replace * with return characters?
Is there a way to do this or not?
I want to import a file with return characters but it seems
impossible.
even with the new find/replace function which doesn't replace
invisibles worth a darn.
And there are no escape characters???

Put all 93 fields on a layout and then take LaRetta's line and surround
it in a script as follows:
Goto Record [First]
Goto Field [Next]
Set Field [gFirstField, status(currentfieldname)]
Loop
Replace Contents ["Substitute (status(currentfieldname), ""*"", "¶")"]
Goto Field[Next]
Exit Loop If [status(currentfieldname) = gFirstField]
End Loop
