[FX.php List] Calling a script through the XML interface

[Dennis Crall]

Thank you to Greg and Stephen. Your answers were very informative.

I was hoping that -script was a peer of -find and the other query options
such that I could set values in a user's record, execute a script to build a
result set (based on those values), and return the result set as xml.

I guess we'll have to resort to making multiple find requests and building
the result set ourselves.

Thanks again,

Denny
