I've noticed the following problem in using the FIND command in LC7, as opposed 
to LC5:

Say I have a stack with 200 cards, in which the last 198 cards contain a group 
within which is a field named CODE. Say on one of the cards field CODE contains 
the code word PPH.

In LC 5.5.3, if I'm on the first card and issue the command

 find "PPH" in field "CODE" 

then LC 5.5.3 finds PPH, as expected.

However, in LC 7.0.4, if I issue the same command from the first card, the 
field CODE is not found.  In order to find it I have to modify the script to 
read:

Go to CD 3 of this stack -- where the group resides containing the field CODE
FIND "PPH" in field "CODE"

I'm not sure if this issue has been reported, but it's important that if 
someone is changing from LC5 to LC7, there needs to be some modification of the 
script to allow the FIND command to work properly. Or perhaps someone has a 
different solution?
