;  The XML file we're loading contains this:

;  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2" ?>

;      <OSSZES>
;          <ROW TYPE="INS">477953
;              <NUMBER>05107003972</NUMBER>

;  We wish to remove this subtree:

;  In this case, we wish to find the node having tag "ROW" with content "477956"

;  Examine the xml2, it should be just the subtree.
ConsoleWrite($oXml2.GetXml() & @CRLF)

;  Now detach xml2 from the it's XML document.
;  xml2 will now be it's own XML document.
$oXml2.RemoveFromTree 

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