XML ada

["Andy Ingram" <andy_ingram@lineone.net>]

I have just started using XML/Ada.
I have been playing around and have managed to get to grips with nodes and
node lists to get a 'list' of elements with the same tag.  However i am now
trying to get the data within these tags.  I am attempting this by using
DOM.Core.Character_Datas.Data and passing it a node (obtained from my
nodelist).  This returns a DOM String.  How do i then use this DOM String as
a 'normal' string? I.e how do i output this to the display or store it in a
string for later use?
EG. below, i want to output all the values of 'name', ie..
***
bob
bill
***
<peoplelist>
  <person>
    <name>bob</name>
    ...
    ...
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>bill</name>
    ...
    ...
  </person>
</peoplelist>


Thanks for any help
