If your script contains steps that allow you to store FileMaker Pro
settings, like Page or Print Setup, Import Order, Find Requests, Sort
Order, and Export Order, you will see the Script Settings dialog box.
Specify whether to keep the settings you have previously stored for
these steps or replace them with the settings that were in use prior to
opening the script. Click OK after you have made your changes.

for Windows, steps that work only in Windows are displayed in italics.
