You don't say what version of FileMaker, but some commands (eg. Im****t,
Ex****t, Find, etc.) can "Store" settings within the script, but only
ONE set of options per script. These options are normally set by
performing the command manually and then setting the Script to store
the previous settings. In newer versions of FileMaker I beleive you can
set the options within in the Script command itself.

One way around this "one store per script" limitation is to use two
scripts - one to store each set of Im****t options. You can then either
use a Perform Script command at the end of the first Script to run the
second Script, or have a third Script that performs both im****t Scripts
in order.
eg.
       Perform (Im****t Script 1)
       Perform (Im****t Script 2)
