Thanks, "ertool --forms book.erf <../library.xml" creates book.php

As an example I have now got a few erf form customisations working as 
expected:
<erf ref="book">
         <fieldset><legend>Book Identification</legend>
        <input ref="title" size="100"/>
        <p><input ref="author" size="40"/></p>
        <input ref="publisher"/>
        <p><input ref="isbn"/>
        <input ref="year" size="4"/>
        </p></fieldset>
        <input ref="description"/>
        <list ref="loan_person"/>
</erf>

I also tried re-ordering by moving loan_person above description and that 
worked too. Rearranging the attributes and relationships on a form like this 
is something i've desired for a while. This form customisation is a very 
useful step forward.

Jason.
