[FX.php List] [OFF] How does the List function work?

[Carl Anderson]

I'm a total scripting beginner. :)  I've got plenty of PHP experience and
enough FX.php experience, but doing things in FileMaker is new to me.

I'm sorry for the major off-topicness of the question.  I'll see if I can
find another resource, if need be.
