He now has access to myXml. Then replace all the text in the<br>
workspace with that from the other workspace. Done.<br>

I guess I see Workspaces for learning and discovery for newbies.<br>
Short, simple, explorations of syntax and class library.<br>
<br>
Attempting to do work as complex as parsing a large XML is going to<br>
present further challenges above and beyond accessing an object. If<br>
someone feels the need to "link workspaces" they really should stop<br>
and consider just making a class. In fact, I think linked workspaces<br>
would lead a newbie down the wrong path..<br>
