Hello,
I am in the process of making an animation that takes text from an XML document and displays it in a scrollPane. I had this working when I was just using string variables. Now with XML it seems to ignore the new line characters. I have looked all over but nothing is working. Now that I think about it, special cahracters like “%3C” are not working. Can anyone help?

<commInfo>Here we see the 'browstat' help command.</commInfo>

<command>
<commText>browstat vw /help</commText>
<commInfo>Now let's look at the command’s syntax in the help menu.</commInfo>
<output>Usage: BROWSTAT VIEW Transport [%3CDomain%3E|\\\\%3CServer%3E [%3CFlags%3E|/DOMAIN \r[%3CDomainToQuery%3E]]]\r BROWSTAT VIEW %3Ctransport%3E\r BROWSTAT VIEW %3Ctransport%3E %3Cdomain%3E|\\\\%3CServer%3E [/DOMAIN]\r BROWSTAT VIEW %3Ctransport%3E %3Cserver%3E /DOMAIN %3Cdomain%3E\rRemote NetServerEnum to a server or domain on transport.\r\rType 'BROWSTAT' to list all switches.</output>
<outInfo>One nice feature about ‘browstat vw’ is that the IP address or name of the server can be used instead of just the domain as with ‘net view’. This allows individual computers (even on different subnets), whether a browser or domain controller, to be checked individually. Also notice the 'transport' is required as part of the ‘browstat vw’ command.</outInfo>
