Subject: Re: Watir:  XML Element includes Escape Sequences

Never mind.  As soon as I posted, I figured it out.

I was using the Visual Studio IDE to create my XML document.  I didn't 
realize that the IDE added formatting characters.  I moved my XML to 
notepad and it worked fine.

Hopefully this post will help someone else.
