Hand Editing the XML

[Karl Grant]

Thanks for your replies. I meant 32 char (512 bit that would be). I'm not
much of a programmer or scripter so i'll just have to manually enter them.
Just out of curiosity, how is the GUID created. I'm assuming it's just a
unique key for the record, but does it encode anything else?
