       getxpath extracts a value from a xmlfile element or attribute
       based on an xpath expression. By default the return value is
       the selector .  unless the selector argument was given.

       xmlfile can be a URL or a pathname.

       This is an extremely simple command and yet complex enough that you
don't want to type it all over again each time you need it.

       Cheers,
