I. What does this module do?

This is an experimental module that gives access to some new functions to use with items. Note the "experimental" ! You can use the functions, but they will likely crash your server if you don't use them properly (as demonstrated in the demo module "function_demo.mod"). Consider this a tech demo.

II. Using the module

Under the File Menu, click Import. A window will pop up.
