[Greg Faber]

um, well actually no, I didn't do pear get XML_RSS, I just went to the 
pear website and downloaded XML_RSS, XML_TREE and XML_PARSER. Upon 
closer examination I saw that parser.php was already installed. I tried 
doing "pear get XML_RSS" but I get "no such command" (the shell is 
bash-2.05a, btw). Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
