Matt,

You really shouldn't be invoking menu actions when the functionality is available via the object model.

The change tools example is not available and so being able to invoke that command can be useful. But importing XML is something you should be directly scripting.

It is a tough area to start a scripting career with, though. Have you looked through this forum for other topics on XML? There's been quite a few discussions. You should also look at the resources on this page:

under XML resources.
