First make sure you actually understand how an xml document works.

been read lot tutorial how to write A mxl document I know how it work here what does.

XML specifies neither semantics nor a tag set. In fact XML is really a meta-language for describing markup languages. In other words, XML provides a facility to define tags and the structural relationships between them. Since there's no predefined tag set, there can't be any preconceived semantics. All of the semantics of an XML document will either be defined by the applications that process them or by stylesheets.]

here Expamle of how write it
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Ok, in your post you have two versions of the version declaration which are both wrong. The correct way is
<?xml version="1.0"?>

May I suggest that you google "XML Structure" - what you are attempting to do is so far off of what needs to be done. There is an example document included with the download (or there should be) that shows you what the XML file should look like- The commands in the XML file are not entered at the command prompt: you need to first write your own XML file (like writing a letter using a text editor like Windows Notepad, but in the XML computer language). The you execute the compiler with a switch to load and process that XML file.

If you do not do it exactly right, it will not work.
