That's a link where you can find plug-ins for Filemaker. To install them
they are installed by copying or moving them to a folder named Filemaker
Extensions located in the Filemaker Folder if you're using a Mac and into a
folder named System with the Filemaker Folder if you're using Windows.
The use them they will first have to be activated within the Filemaker app
preferences. Usually just copying the plugins into the appropriate folder
and then restarting or starting up Filemaker will automatically load them.
Also there may be some user preferences that will need to set which again is
done through the Filemaker app preferences dialog; you'll see a tab that
reads plugins.
The use of them is always through a calculated field and you will need to
read the documentation that comes with whatever plugin you install since
those calculations may differ from plugin to plugin.
Hope that answers your questions.

Can anyone show me the way to a place on internet where I can find basic
information about plug-ins for Filemaker Pro:
- what are plug-ins?
- how do I install them?
- how do I use them?
Thanks!
