One of the issues with this approach that you need to take care with is that Forms (from around 6i I think) stores most of its code in great big hex chunks (if you generate an FMT you'll see what I mean).=20 We found that (with PVCS) it could'nt locate its special tags within the FMB and thus that kind of tagging didn't work.
