Discussion

When processing XML data in a Synergy program, you will probably want to change the XML string into a Synergy memory handle using %XML_STRING_GETHANDLE to get the handle and %XML_STRING_GETSIZE to get its size. You can then use the handle and size in your Synergy program as needed. (For example, you might pass them into the HTTP document transport API.)

This function is defined as ^VAL.
