I've read that section numerous times. I find the whole page very  
confusing.  Here's a couple of examples:

1) Normally I would expect documentation to tell me the basic format  
and then the parameters referenced in the format. But it seems like  
there are "special markups" between those. I don't know what a special  
markup is. An alternate way of specifying a form?

Is (:fox formname etc.:) still required, or does (:foxreplace...:)  
takes its place?

2) It's not clear what "foxaction=replace" means. There's no mention  
of "foxaction" in the basic format. Is that something I literally put  
somewhere on some line?

Anyway, I can see that Fox is is a wonderful and powerful tool - if  
you know how to use it. I would like to learn.

Let's take a very simple case of replacement. Suppose I want to change  
all occurances of "Old" to "New" in MyGroup.Sandbox. To make it really  
easy, let's put the form on MyGroup.Sandbox too.

The page has:

[[#MySection]]
Old1
Old2
[[#MySectionend]]

Here's what I would guess is the first line of the form:

(:fox form1 put=all mark="Old" template=0  
target=MyGroup.Sandbox#MySection:)

I'd guess there is a (:foxreplace:) and a (:foxtemplate "New":) to  
specify before the final (:foxend form1:)

Am I close? Can you show me a complete working sample of code to do  
the above task (a picture is worth a thousand words...)?
