Awesome Charlie!  Thats what I was hoping to hear.  
Thanks everyone for your hard work and determination, 
you all rock.

One further question:  

Some time ago I was trying to create some basic Visio-
like capabilities with XWT.  The problem was boxes 
were just that - boxes.  It was difficult to make 
lines that maintained aspect, looked like real lines, 
and moved with the boxes when the boxes were moved 
(rather than images that stretched).  I resorted to 
making these awful zig-zag like constructions (box
left, box up, box left, ...).
It appears with the svg path capabilities, we can do 
this kind of thing.  Anyone done anything like that 
yet or have any thoughts?

Matt
