Yea I did find that but it doesn't answer a few of my questions (and
as yet google hasn't yielded anything).

I don't know how to make ruby parse it all into a file
(username-timestamp.xml) and how to add the extra statements to the
vector tag (i.e., bg="bg.png", etc...)

They seem to be my main problems at the moment.

Also, on a related note, how do I put something into a varialbe to
reuse it later?  as php would be :
   $var="contents of var";
   echo "$var";

etc.

Cheers
~Chris
