Hi Steve,

Welcome to the Revolution :-)

Question 1. revCreateXMLTreeFromFile
  Appearently that function requires platform-specific
paths (see bugzilla #188); Tuviah from RunRev
indicated we should use revCreateXMLTree for now.

Question 2. callback messages
  Sorry, I haven't used those yet. Maybe someone else?

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
