Hi Mike,
If all the fields are created on a single card, this might be easier:
Assuming permFieldCount = the number of fields that remain permanently on
the card,
repeat with x = permFieldCount+1 to the number of fields
delete field x
end repeat
should do what you want.
PS: I'm still just getting into Transcript; so take this as an algorithm,
not a literal script.
