I think <cffile action="append" will do.

Thanks

Maybe this will get you started.

Given this XML file:

<composers>
    <modern>
        <composer>
            <name>Schoenberg</name>
        </composer>
    </modern>
</composers>

use this code:

<cffile action="read" file="c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\test\MyXml.xml"
variable="XMLFileText">
<cfset myXMLDocument=XmlParse(XMLFileText)>

<cfset ArrayAppend(myXMLDocument.composers.modern[1].XmlChildren,
XmlElemNew(myXMLDocument, 'composer')) />
<cfset myXMLDocument.composers.modern.XmlChildren[2].name =
XmlElemNew(myXMLDocument, 'name') />
<cfset myXmlDocument.composers.modern.XmlChildren[2].name.XmlText =
"Stravinsky" />

<cfdump var="#myXMLDocument#" />

See if that gets you anywhere near what you're trying to do.
