Well, I trust your judgement there. As a reformed perl and PHP
programmer, I can write text into a file in my sleep :-) However, one
last question. If I wanted to download this coordinate info, then
manipulate it as a DOM, would that still be easier. In other words, as
stated above, I would download data from the receiver directly into an
XML file, then parse the XML file into memory, display/manipulate it,
then rewrite it to the file when saved. Do I understand correctly. It
does sound easy enough, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing
something or making things difficult with all that file I/O. Thanks.
