Boyd,
To answer part of your question, try the following (from the message window)
set x = value("#"&"test")
put x
-- #test
I too am just trying to wrap my head around xml, and have found this
little trick useful in other cases.
And, slightly off topic, are you the Boyd in Winnipeg? I think we met
briefly at RRC with Brendan?? Your name sounds too familiar.
Dwayne.
