Taking ownership of script members?

I have a script called getMyXmlFromDB.ps1 which retrieves some xml
data from an sqlxml website - it works well, but I'd also like to be
able to manipulate the dom object after the script has run - my guess
is that the dom is being destroyed when the script finishes as it goes
out of scope or something.

Can I instruct the shell to inherit the data/objects of the running
script?

Thanks,

Duncan.

Here's the script:

---
#.\getMyXmlFromDB.ps1

"running getMyXmlFromDB.ps1"

# get data from the database into a DOM
$friStr = "<root>"
$friStr += Get-url "http://barsql01/mydatabase?sql=exec GetMyData_sp
@p_strEvent='EvCode', @p_strSeason='2007', @p_strMinTime='2007-03-15
00:00:00', @p_strMaxTime='2007-03-16 23:59:59'"
$friStr += "</root>"

[xml]$friXml = $friStr

echo $friXml

# pretty-print and write to a file
fxml -InputObject $fri > fri.xml
---

you can dot source the script to load it into the global (interactive) scope
:

.. .\getMyXmlFromDB.ps1

note the dot and space before the scriptpath
