You'll probably find it easier to pass instructions directly to the
database that is being displayed by the portal. It's fast and easy.
Look at the "Show" command in the Filemaker applescript reference
database for more information.
Start with
tell app "filemaker pro"
set related_ID to cell "_ID" of current record of window 1
show every record of database "the_related_one" whose cell "_ID" is related_ID
-- or something that makes sense on your computer.
end tell
Notice that "Show" does not mean "bring the window to the front",
it's more like "Find".

Is there a way to reference Filemaker (5) portal fields/rows in applescript
and perform a loop on the sequence of portal rows?
Thanks,
