The explicit "path of" is necessary because System Events does not
recognize an alias a selector data for a file.
Once you're done there, "foo" will be an "XML data" object
specifier. To get parts of it, direct your eyes upward in the
dictionary from "XML file" to "XML data" and observe that an "XML
data" contains "XML elements". You can also get the text
representation by saying "text of", but for an element that's
mostly only useful for debugging.
Thanks.
Don't forget that if the XML file you're dealing with is a plist,
then you ought to be using the Property List Suite instead. It's
easier to work with, and there's no guarantee that a plist is XML.
No, it's not a plist; it's an XML export from iTunes.
