Filemaker pro 10 desperate problem: substitute command does not work with hard returns

I have been working for years with FMP 8.5 advanced

till I could get for a university project an educational version of  
10 (not advanced)

To my dismay this porgram is full of oddities, worst one that several  
scripts do NOT work anymore

the porblem which really is beyond my understanding is that a simple  
text cleaning script
whereby I use the Substitue function and put the carriage return sign  
between "" and have that changed into a single space " "
is NOT executed...
nothing is happening at all, also no error messages are displayed...

Anybody any idea what/why???

Also the scricpting menu does not have a save biutton, so one as to  
exit the window to get a save dialogue...

is that all because I started using a non-advanced copy?

I can find (after several searches NO documentation and no other  
forum on the net that talks about this problem

I will be most grateful for any suggestions

There are things you can do with Advanced you can not do with pro like  
script debug and data viewer so if you are serious about programming  
you need advanced,
