Sending messages from XML sockets

Can some body please help me with this I am really stuck I’ve been staring at this for the past few hours and I can’t seem to work it out. I am using XML sockets and I need to send this to the server

[FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT]<Admin Command=”auth” ID=”1000” CrossCheck=”9999” />[/FONT][FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][/FONT]

The problem is that I can’t work out the correct syntax for sending it. I know I need to use theSocket.send(someXML); style command if anyone can shed some light on this I would be really greatful or even just point me in the direction of good resources for xml sockets as I can’t seem to find any.

Thanks
