Get a handler from a script

Mark and Robert,

I needed to check for functions as well. So I adapted the script from  
Mark into this:

function getHandlers hName,tControl
     put the script of card tControl into tScript
     put tScript
     get lineOffset("on " & hName,tScript)
     if it = 0 then
         get lineOffset("function " & hName,tScript)
     end if
     if it = 0 then return "not found"
     put it into startLine
     get lineOffset("end " & hName,tScript)
     return line startLine to it of tScript
end getHandlers

Thank you so much for your help,

Tom
