Changing Track Revisions display

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Keith...

As far as I've been able to tell .. these are conditions, but they are 
*special* conditions. They don't show up in the standard condition UI, 
and you can't easily change their appearance or hide/show state. If you 
export this to a MIF, you'll see that they look like normal conditions, 
but if you try  changing the hide/show or coloring in the MIF, they will 
revert back to the standard appearance when you open it in FM. Their 
properties must be hard-coded in some manner.

I'd imagine that an FDK plugin or FrameScript could change this (haven't 
tried yet) but I'm not aware of any "normal" ways to change their 
appearance.
