Explanation

Consider the following XML data:

	<Type UNID="&unidHugoSandoval;">
		<StaticData>
			<Data id="MissionAttribute">"hugoSandovalMission"</Data>
			<Data id="Name">"Hugo Sandoval"</Data>
			<Data id="Sovereign">&svCommonwealth;</Data>
		</StaticData>

		<Events>
			<OnCharacterCanBeMet>
				True
			</OnCharacterCanBeMet>

			<OnGlobalSystemStopped>
				(rpgCharacterAscend &unidHugoSandoval;)
			</OnGlobalSystemStopped>
		</Events>
	</Type>

Now consider the following code:

	(block (theXML theXMLText0 theXMLText1 theXMLText2 theStaticData theDataText0 theDataText1 theDataText2)
		(setq theXML (typGetXML &unidHugoSandoval;))

		(setq theXMLText0 (xmlGetText theXML 0))
		(setq theXMLText1 (xmlGetText theXML 1))
		(setq theXMLText2 (xmlGetText theXML 2))
		
		(setq theStaticData (xmlGetSubElement theXML 'StaticData))
		(setq theDataText0 (xmlGetText (xmlGetSubElement theStaticData 0) 0))
		(setq theDataText1 (xmlGetText (xmlGetSubElement theStaticData 1) 0))
		(setq theDataText2 (xmlGetText (xmlGetSubElement theStaticData 2) 0))
		)
