& in web config

is the & charater not allowed in a web.config file?
If so is there a way to escape it?
I've never had this happen,
but in a web.config file 1.1 framework app.
It seems to be choking in a string in the webconfig at exatly that
location.

thanks in advance
Sincerely

Ralph

The web.config file is an XML file, so the '&' character would need to
be written as '&' to conform to XML rules.
