Hi, Priyank: Thanks for stepping up! I began using FM 2 in 1989. Since around '94, I've used, trained, and supported FM customers on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh. I participated in the FM pre-release program for many years. Over the years, almost all requests for improvements in features, bug

I actually got this working, but I never finished it...  I was hung up on hosting it on a web site, when hosting it on the file system would probably be more useful... Anyway, an XML file that captures sets of variables and definitions.  You can swap out for a book by choosing the set and
