There's a good example on fp-tech website:
Windows: https://www.fptech.com/fptech/resources/downloads/blobtest.zip
and SCO: https://www.fptech.com/fptech/resources/downloads/blobtest.tar.gz

Yes.

MEMO Field_Num SHOW

Works on clerk screen, not in browse though.

If you are referring to searching from the Inquire, Update, Add filePro
menu, I don't think so, as you would need the memo commands to be run to
pull up the data in the file.  You might be able to do it from processing
though.
