[FX.php List] FX.php compatibility with FMS 9.0

[Bob Patin]

I love the new features in 9; I've been using it for a month or so,  
and did have a few buggy problems here and there, but the new  
features are excellent. I particularly like the ability to have  
multiple script windows open, as well as the ability to more easily  
organize scripts.

I watched a 2-minute demo of the PHP site assistant, and it was  
pretty impressive; this guy knocked together a PHP site with search,  
sort, list, in about 2 minutes.
