Hi Max,

I spent some time today looking through the code, starting with the
xmlrpc.cgi. Your walk through did help lead me in the right direction. Thank
you for that.

Please bare with me for a bit while I try and familiarize myself with the
code base and surrounding environment. Sometimes I feel that having some way
to debug or test the code is a great way to help the learning process. Can
you recommend ways of doing this? Meaning, can a debugger be used, or test
environments setup to help step through code, etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Scott
