Robert,
I seem to be still having problems. I have a test XML file created, very simple
with just the symbol that’s causing me the problem
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<result>Euro Symbol : €</result>
However, when I call the External action, and the results are returned,
<@ELEMENTVALUE OBJECT="mydom" SCOPE="local" ELEMENT="root()" TYPE="text">
resturns "?" instead of my symbol. Any thoughts?

Posted the solution, a external command helper to http://
www.bighead.net/tools/
It is called witango_xml_cleaner.
Let me if it works for you.
