[CS3 SDK]: To show "Import XML" dialog

Question

Hi, I'm a newbie in developing indesign plugins. I've created my own menu items, but I don't know how to show the "Import XML" dialog to choose a xml file. I searched in the code snippets, but I could only find the snippet to show the "Place" dialog. Can anybody help me in any way? Thanks.

I have the same version of CS3.
I have further—and strange—information.
In the structure pane there is a menu where there is an option to either show or hide the attributes. If I click on these I can close up the xml elements to hide the attributes or expand the elements to show the attributes, but the only ones that will expand are those that I have previously expanded by clicking on the little triangle next to the xml tag. So this works just like the script.
However, if I hold down the command key (on a Mac) and then click the parent tag (most cases this is the Story tag), then I can open up or close up all of the  child xml elements.
After I used the Command key-click-on-triangle trick, then the scripts to open or close the xml tags works just like I want them to.
Hmmm...so is there a way to script using the command key without actually using it?
