Procedure Test
    Handle hoXml
    Variant vChildNode

        Send CreateComObject of hoXml
    End

    Set ComTag Of hoXml To "abc"

    // Create a new child  with no content 
    // and return the newly created child node:

    Get ComNewChild Of hoXml "xyz" "" To vChildNode
    If (IsComObject(vChildNode)) Begin
        Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatXml)) To hoChildNode
        Set pvComObject Of hoChildNode To vChildNode
    End

    // Create a child under childNode, but instead call
    // NewChild2 which doesn't return the newly created child node:
    Send ComNewChild2 To hoChildNode "mmm" "123"

    Send Destroy of hoChildNode

    Get ComGetXml Of hoXml To sTemp1
