Ah, well, I guess it *is* clear if you know what the
hell a "DTD or schema" means. I find reading this XML
documentation similar to reading the German newspapers
last fall in Munich. I understand every third or
fourth word. But I'm improving! :-)

Well, naturally. But who has the time for that. I have
deadlines and it's the client who is giving me these damn
XML files. Let *him* go read up on it! :-(
Thanks for the help. :-)
Cheers,
David
