    #  Display the book title:
    print xml.getAttrValue("title")

    #  Should never fail..
    success = xml.AddAttributeInt("bookId",i)

    #  Add a new unread="yes" attribute:
    success = xml.AddAttribute("unread","yes")

    #  Navigate back up to the parent:
    success = xml.GetParent2()

#  Navigate back to the document root:
xml.GetRoot2()

#  Save the updated document:
success = xml.SaveXml("modified.xml")
