OK.  But other contributers have said I should only store data in the 
very 'tips' of the XML tree (i.e. not in intermediate branches).  This 
seems to rule out handling directory structures in the body of the tree.

Or should I use the directory names as 'tags' rather than data items in 
the tree?

Yes, I have found some code to handle this :-)

Thanks very much for your tips.
