THanks for that people.

I have now moved on a bit, and am getting the first two line added
perfrectly. That is the XML version line, and the line with the xmlns.

After that, I need to add my first data type nodes.

So, I have:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<NLIS_MESSAGE xmlns="bla blah" xmlns:xsi="blah blah">

Now, under that, I need to add:

<NLIS_HEADER>
    <INTERFACE_VERSION_NUMBER>6.0</INTERFACE_VERSION_NUMBER>
</NLIS_HEADER>

I set my RootNode to the NLIS_MESSAGE node, and want to add NLIS_HEADER to
that, as above...

Not sure what functiosn to use...
