    Yes, using the nusoap api with WDSL from amazon, you can get anything.

    However, strap your boots on, I think the docs for 4.0 are lousey. 3.0 at least ya can depend on consistant objects returned.

    2.0 was eliminated recently. They say 3.0 is gonna be available for the "fore seeable future". Try and define that. So if you dive in, use 4.0 and deal with the quarks.

    Who'd have thunk it. I'm glad I only coded two functions! I'll give it a look.

    Thanks
