To comment out handlers before importing, you must open the stack in 
HyperCard and do it there. If you no longer have HyperCard available, 
you can comment the handlers after import. When you see an error 
message, click the "Script" button, which will take you directly to the 
handler that has the error. Then comment it out.

To comment out a handler, place two hyphens before the word "on" at the 
top of the handler, like this:

-- on mouseUp
<statement>
<statement>
end mouseup

Placing the hyphens before the first word of the line will disable the 
entire handler.

Also, if you want help with the "find" button, you should post the 
button script here. There is not enough information for us to help you 
until we can look at the script that has the error.
