The Form and Menu Language
The Form and Menu Language is a high-level ``shell-like'' language for
defining menus, forms, and text frames for your application.
A menu, form, or text frame definition is stored in
a ``frame definition file''
made up of statements recognized by the Form and Menu Language
Interpreter--the fmli command.
Frame definition files
can contain fixed descriptions of the contents of the frame
and/or
code that will dynamically generate the contents.
When fmli is invoked for the scripts you have written,
the frame definition files are parsed,
and the frames that will be displayed on the screen are generated.
This section summarizes the syntax of the various elements of
the Form and Menu Language.
