XML parsing per record

[Willem Ligtenberg]

As you can read in the other post of mine, my problem was with the
iterating through the list. didn't know that you should do. e.text. I did
only print e, not print e.text
Did read documentation, but must admit not everything.

Anyway, thank you very much!
