Thanks for the info!
I think I may look into the DOM approach. ^_^
Does(do?) libxml or libxml2 have a DOM interface?  I know that 
libxml2 is already on the system (part of the base install), so
it may be a good place to look. :)  Does anyone know of a good
tutorial site with a .org or .edu web address?  The firewall I
am stuck behind at the moment has some funky restrictions. :P
