Orchestration expression building

| I am new to developing orchestrations. Most of my work has been in map and
schema development.
I am using the expression shape extensively. Where is a good reference guide
that I can use to help form expressions. I know how to do alot of the basic
kinds but am having trouble constructing more complicated ones.
For instance: I want to assign the record code of a node of the incoming xml
document to a variable. How do I get that value returned from the xml
document? Is there a method? What is syntax?
If you can point me to a reference guide that can answer these kinds of
questions it would be a big help.

| Assuming you have created a string variable named myVariable, and a message
named myMessage in the orchestration:
myVariable = xpath(myMessage, "string(your xpath goes here)");
expressions are pretty well covered in the BizTalk documentation
