Thanks Georg . I saw this patch but it doesn't really have any explanation associated with it that I can see.
Also one would have to run another script in Python or something to make the xml-rpc calls if I understand it correctly.
Is that correct? I was wondering if there was an external with the xml-rpc library included to avoid having to use anything 
along with PD. In the ideal case one would use only PD as the client and be able to contact a remote xml-rpc server directly.
I guess this isn't currently available or perhaps I just don't understand iemxmlrpc?
Thanks,
Jim
