thank you very much, I did go to next page (had done so previously 
also..) so, based on code found at above pg and next pg, I now have the 
following:

	Document doc = new Document();
	Element root = new Element("GREETING");
	root.setText("Hello JDOM!");
	doc.setRootElement(root);
	XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
	outputter.output(doc, System.out);

         //  (plus try-catch code..)

this compiles and runs fine; however, it prints XML output in command 
line..  still haven't found how to create an actual XML file (say, 
info.xml) how would I do this?  (yes, I AM familiar with Java I/O.. I 
have created files with it..)  thank you very much..
