[FX.php List] Limiting fields returned

[Joel Shapiro]

Thanks for the details, Roger.

I haven't experimented with FXneoCache since I'd only heard about the  
problems people were having.

If it's easy to put together, maybe you could post your modifications  
to this list so then they'll be available in the archives for  
whenever anyone is interested.

Thanks,
-Joel
