that will be the 3rd method that i will try :)
the other two, suggested in the thread, didnt worked for me.
likely because of user error....
meanwhile i switched to a proper editor outside of xsi, which makes
life a LOT easier, when it comes to syntax errors and readability.
just the quick search for commands and other xsi specifique stuff is
gone. but meanwhile i spend more time writing code then readin the
docs ;)
