bugs in FM 9's conditional build expressions

Hi all,

Recently my company has decided to release several different editions of the
product we sell. This has forced me to create several conditional tags. The
complexity of the conditional tags and how its applied in the document makes
the use of build expressions highly desirable. However, it seems like this
functionality is kinda buggy.

Has anyone noticed the following:

-you cannot import build expressions from one document to another. that's a
killer. Is there some way around this aside from hand editing mif files?
-deleting unused build expressions requires me to save the FM file as a MIF
file, open the MIF file in  a text editor, delete the conditional build
expressions, and then save the MIF back to FM format. Is it honestly the
case that Adobe didn't provide a delete button and this is the only way to
get rid of expressions?
-when i use a build expression, my condition indicators don't seem to work.
Anyone have an idea why?

Sincerely,
Joseph Lorenzini
