Ahh. I figured you would just come up with a way to do it via MainMenu.fp5
like all of the other stuff.

My thought was that you would use a Script inside MainMenu.fp5 to pull the
values from Services_.fp5 (thus bypassing the need to expose Services_.fp5
to the world) and then use a custom layout to display the data. Since it
is a display-the-data issue, I didn't figure it would be that difficult,
but, I'm certainly not privy to the inner-workings of FMP Scripting..

Right. This was my hesitation as well.

Yea, and OptiWrap/Skin also adds a layer of security, e.g. the person can't
just do http://blah/FMPro?-whatever... same benefit once the FMP7 XML/PHP
stuff comes out..

Understood.
