Hi Wendy;
Thanks for you help.
Is this along the lines of what you were thinking (see below)? All the
methods being called now are defined in the XMLParser class.
I am getting a NullPointerException right now, I am in the midst of
improving my debugging to determine where it is occuring.
Thanks,
Luke
