Here are a few tips: 1) Take the default XML and archive it (RAR is my choice) 2) Copy the XML file to the desktop or whatever and change the extension to TXT 3) Open in Notepad (I use Notepad++, a freeware program that rocks) and tweak away 4) After changes, then just save it as the original XML file - Save As> puresim.xml - in the original XML subdirectory 5) Open the XML file just to make sure it hasn't got errors (must load fully). Now you always have that puresim.txt file to make changes on, and then just save it as the XML file and load away. When you have a file that you really enjoy, make an archive of that so you don't lose your precious work and always have a reference to work with in the future. I keep IE6 as the default program for XML files; I don't change the default opening program to Notepad because I want to crank on the XML file with IE just to make sure it is kosher. If you change it to Notepad as default, it will take more steps to open the XML with IE.
