Using the object:
ox=CREATEOBJECT("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0")
oDocument=ox.documentelements

THe "resource" tagname is a child of oDocument.childnodes(2).
the path would be oDocument/resources/resource

I have tried:
oDocument.selectSingleNode("resource" ;
child::para[attribute::identifier="RESOURCE_INTRO")

I need guidance on how to point to a node (tag) based of the value of a specific attribute of the node.
