Help on XML config files

["Mark Evans (Anaheim)" <me...@Printrak.com>]

I hope I'm posting this right!

I've dorked around all day trying to get an xml configuration file working.
It complains about not finding a root element.  The documentation on the XML
configuration file is weak at best.  (Only a few examples, all the same.)

I want to send output to stdout and to a log file (simple enough).

Below is what I get.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
