Joel,

It is true that graphical elements, hand-typed text, field labels,  
merge fields, etc. on a layout are not returned in FileMaker's XML,  
and therefore these items are not available to FX.

However, FX does bring back more than just field data. The  
$ReturnedData array that FX produces has sub-arrays for...
	linkNext
	linkPrevious
	foundCount
	fields
	URL
	errorCode

...as well as...
	data [where field data is found]

Also, using FMView() to query FileMaker will bring back FMP value  
lists referenced on the layout.
