[FX.php List] Accepting user input on multiple records simultaneously

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Dale,

In the case that I am working on (Case 1 below, 
owner records) , the records belong to the user 
and no one else would be editing.

In Case 2 below (non owner records) , I would use 
sessions and then the flagged records would only 
exist in the session.

That flys, right?
