Ok, I think I get it. If what I wanted to show was another couple of field
boxes I would just do this?

{IF {Dropdown1}="Show" {Field1} {Field2}}

Yes. Lets say your dropdown fieldcode bookmark name is dropdown1 and
that the values are "show" and "hide". Check the box "calculate on
exit" in the formfield dialog box. Insert a REF field embedded in an
IF field

{IF {Dropdown1}="Show""Show this text"""}
