;     <OSSZES>

; We wish to remove this subtree:

; Get another reference to the XML document.
Local $oXml2 = $oXml.GetSelf()

; Navigate to the node that is the root of the subtree to be deleted.
; In this case, we wish to find the node having tag "ROW" with content "477956"

; Examine the xml2, it should be just the subtree.

; Now detach xml2 from the it's XML document.
; xml2 will now be it's own XML document.

; Examine our original XML document.  The subtree is removed:
