URLs for BXE for multiple users

Hi all,

I'm tinkering with BXE 1.0, trying to set it up so that
multiple users can use it at the same time, each editing 
their own stuff.

So.. I guess I want to set up config.xml so that it uses 
the "URL-Parameter" method to load the file it will edit.

In the examples, file "config.xml" has this long passage
(I've reformatted it): 

        If you want to provide the location via an URL-Parameter:
        <file name="BX_xmlfile" isParam="true">xml-url</file>

        and the request "index.html?xml-url=xml/article.xml" 
	leads to the same as the above example.

        If you want to provide the location via an URL-Parameter:
        <file name="BX_xmlfile" isConfigParam="true">
	      keyNameOfArrayElement</file>

        and the request 
	bxe_start("config.xml", true/false, 
	array("keyNameOfArrayElement"=>"xml/article.xml")) 
	leads to the same as the above example. (note: the example 
	doesn't work, you have to create your array in another way...

        Furthermore you have the option "prefix", which just prefixes 
	the url with this value. The following example would do the 
	same as above again (postfix is currently missing) 
        <file name="BX_xmlfile" prefix="xml/">article.xml</file>

So, if I understand this correctly, I cannot use 
the "isParam" and "prefix" attributes _together_.

In that case ...

Because I need to be able to specify the base 
file name, I should use the "isParam" attribute.  
So I wonder.. can I use an absolute path, rather 
than a relative path as in the example. 

For example:

	(config.xml)
	<file name="BX_xmlfile" isParam="true">theFilepath</file>

	(URL)
	"[etc]/index.html?theFilepath=/pathto/myarticles/myarticle1357.xml" 

Does this seem correct ?  And, will this URL also work 
when I attempt to PUT the file back to the server ? 


thanks much ! 

fred
