How do you remove encoding - newbie question!

[Lee, Ken]

Title: How do you remove encoding - newbie question!

This is probably really simple and hopefully I don't get a RTFM response (or at least let me know the page number!), but I didn't see an answer in the historical posts for this specific question.

Question: In the response, how do I get the return value to NOT be encoded - the &lt; should be '<'

From tcpmon here are my request and partial return values:

**** Request - Looks fine
