I'm editing the OPML file in a text editor. Yes, I'm sorry, if I screw
up the code in the OPML file with a moment's thought it's obvious that
nothing in OnfoBrowser would diplay. Howrever, I'm still surprised that
perfect code including a URL that can't be handled causes InfoBrowser to
display a blank page, i.e this causes the display to blank (names
changed to protect the innocent):

If this means running Active State Perl again (which I guess  does)
I'll give it a miss. Otherwise I'd have a go.

I've added the Google UK news feed but line breaks do not appear to
work. Could this be a bug? Here's some example text and the URL:

that he is the victim of a "ruthless" dirty tricks campaign - including
hacking into computers and "blatant lies".....   more buffoony

I have to say I love InfoBrowser, the TV listings in themselves are now
invaluable. The immediacy and convenience of the service is superb.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

It's the music, stupid.
