I couldn't get the interleaved behavior seen when running from the command
line but the following prepends the error messages to the esis: (Usefull?
Not sure if you'll get same behavior in W95/98.)

>>> s = os.popen("nsgmls -wxml com_err.xml 2>>&1", "r")
>>> print s.read()[0:300]
nsgmls:com_sm.xml:6:17:E: end tag for element "PP" which is not open
nsgmls:com_sm.xml:7:5:E: end tag for "P" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was
specified
nsgmls:com_sm.xml:6:2: start tag was here

No need to get up; it works as advertized. (Wow, never knew you could do
that!-)
