Receiving turns/Automagic at Yahoo

Hi, Clint -- I have just tried again, using Brad's
suggestion, but I just can't get a readable xml file
with that method. I don't know what's missing -- it
simply tells me that the xml file is not readable.

The Word method described below works well for me --
is it worth including with the Automagic suggestions?

Dan

Dan - can you try this and get back to me?

Clint

I've copied the xml info, pasted onto a text doc

(notepad),

and then simply saved as xml.

No players don't read it as it stands - putting more instructions in will only confuse them more... :slight_smile: I'll keep the Word reference for players though.
