Totally agreed, Bruce.
And this may be one of the (recent spate of) ill-formed questions which only
serve to confuse both asker and potential answerer alike.
It's really most helpful that people say what they are trying to accomplish,
more specifically, rather than just include some small bit of pseudo-code.
Working with Value Lists in FM can be done with AS, but how that happens
(i.e., the way in which those are established in FM) is a matter of
specifics.
I don't ready anything in Oakley's post that suggests an extra-FM need...but
I think it must be a matter of my not really "getting" the goal.
Blah. 'nuf from me.
