Find characters - stay inside?
I have been reading support pages on relative positioning and finding characters, and I think I can find characters in a page, but once I find them (IF I find them), can I STAY in the page and continue do things, or do I have to exit out of the page and run another script?

I am trying to script an extraction for the first time using Visual Foxpro. Using the sample project (wsh-extract-rate) everything seems to working fine but I always get a return code of "1", not "2" even though I can see the extracted data in the variable.
