Sorry about that.

This should work...

chapNumVariable = doc.textVariables.item("Chapter Number");

textVariable = 
xmlelement.insertionPoints.lastItem.textVariableInstances.add ();
textVariable.associatedTextVariable = chapNumVariable;

You can also create the associated text variable as a property when you 
create it...
