Character Entities

Hey all, another newbie question.

How do you get sax to stop converting character entities to the 
character they represent?  for example, things like &amp; or &uuml; are 
being replaced with & or ü.

You don't really want to do that. There's a way 
to do it, depending on the parser and whether the 
entities are defined internally or externally, 
but you really don't want to do that.
