Hello Alistair, Check out www.scriptorium.com. There you'll find some self-paced instruction books and CDs. However, don't expect to read these books and then start working as an XML application developer the day after. It's not that simple. The structured world really does need a lot of experience before you can handle it correctly. Frame offers a PDF file in the online manuals called something like Structured developpers' guide. This PDF is mostly SGML with some XML info. I am not an XML person but others on this forum seem to have the impression that FM7 needs a lot more enhancements before it becomes a real XML tool. DocBook is an SGML application in origin and version 4 seems to have XML offerings. How good this is I cannot evaluate so, if XML is your considered target, think about getting some professional help rather than attempt this on your own. Cheers Ian
