//    <city>Santa Clara</city> 
//    <state>CA</state>

	// Add the Microsoft ticker symbol as an attribute to the Microsoft record.
	Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
	xml.LoadXmlFile("companies.xml");

	// Navigate to the first company record.
	xml.FirstChild2();

	// Find the next XML node where there is a child node having tag "name"
	// with a value that matches the wildcarded pattern "Microsoft*"
	Chilkat.Xml microsoft = xml.FindNextRecord("name","Microsoft*");
	if (microsoft != null)
	{
		microsoft.AddAttribute("symbol","MSFT");
	}

	// Restore our reference to the root of the XML document.
	xml.GetRoot2();
	xml.SaveXml("mod3.xml");
