I've tried that, it closes the selction box, but the script edit
window does not appear. The only way I can get it to appear is to
select another type e.g. string, and then select calculated again.

The scripts section in the manual doesn't go into global scripts. Is
the only possible command the sort command?
I would have thought that a script used at that time would be used to
select records to view, and then sort them. So that you could find all
records containing the name Adam, and sort them by age, for example.
