[Joe Dunn]

When a form is EXPORTED the resulting file is xyz.fxm.
The content looks like this:

a:13:

If you could find where the start and end of each field
definition is, couldn't use cut and paste fields to move
them around much faster? How do you tell where one
form field begins and ends? Is there a reference for
what each variable could represent? For
example: ";s:1:"1";s:17:"

Is there any documentation for this module????
