For returning specific XML documents of a database, you need to use the XQUERY command:
XQUERY db:open('greek', 'PROSE~aristotle~Rhetoric1')
All documents of the currently opened database can simply be addressed and returned via the context item (.):
XQUERY .
Hope this helps, Christian

In actuality, as you have surmised, no. I wish to get the xml text of document. So, for what I am attempting below ...
*> list * *Name Resources Size Input Path * *------------------------------ ----------* *greek 2 2942906 * *latin 184 9942769 * *semantic 785 257685 *
*3 database(s).* *> list greek* *Input Path Type Content-Type Size * *------------------------------ ------------------------------* *PROSE~aristotle~Rhetoric1 xml application/xml 99387 * *PROSE~CONVERSATION~ GreekPrimer xml application/xml 20260 *
*> open greek* *Database 'greek' was opened in 2.9 ms.* *> retrieve PROSE~aristotle~Rhetoric1*
.. my intention is to have the xml content: *<text><sent><clause> ...... </text>*

What are your intentions? Are you really interested in a raw representation of your input?

Christian, thank you. Can you give me an example of the syntax (e.g. command + param) of the RETRIEVE command in my case?

Hi Mark,
Each resource is stored as either an XML document or a binary file (raw data) [1]. You can only retrieve resources as raw data of they have been stored as binaries.
Hope this helps, Christian

*list greek*
