Martin,

Here are a few things I came up with while testing the new version and 
trying a couple of things. See the attached files for examples of the 
issues:

1. Command line parameter passing.

How can i pass a parameter with the -D flag which contains spaces, line 
feeds, etc? The example run script just contains entries such as 
ANewEntry but I would like it to show 'A New Entry'

2. insertAfter throws error

The Node Manipulation function insertAfter throws the error:

Thu Jul 17 21:07:24 BST 2003 error: error in program: test1.oml
Thu Jul 17 21:07:24 BST 2003 error: no such function: 
Element.insertAfter(Nodeset)

See Line: <!-- <o:do 
select="$blog/blog/entries/entry.insertAfter($newEntry)"/> -->

3. append Node manipluation palces node in wrong place?

In the example I attached the following line <o:do 
select="$blog/blog/entries/entry.append($newEntry)"/> appends the new 
entry BETWEEN the first and third 'entry' nodes. Is this correct? I 
thought it would add it after the LAST 'entry' node.

4. Extra </entry> entry

Check in the test.out file. Note where it added the above new entry. 
You will see there is an extra '</entry>' added to the file.

5. Reading/Writing files

I really need to just manipulate an xml file on disk by updating the 
lastupdate node and adding a new blog entry. How can I do this? I would 
expect to be able to do something like:

- Open a file and assign a pointer to it to a variable
- Update the contents of the variable
- Save and close the file

Thats it for now. create the files just use run.sh. Also you can pass 
the -xsl paramater to run.sh and it will pick it up.

Thanks,
Glen
