RE: indent XML doc based on spaces?

FYI, I used the sample supplied by Nikolai and have updated the tool with
that.  Also thanks to Eric and Martin for help in figuring out what I was
doing wrong.  So now the tool has pretty formatting, remembers last working
directory, and allows you to test XPath expression in addition to the other
new features.

Thanks!
