<step>Playbacks.AppendOrInsertPlaybackStep(Playbacks.PlaybackEdit.Handle,1)</step>
<step>Playbacks.PlaybackEdit.Exit()</step>

Explanation

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to Formats and syntax

Playbacks.CueList.CreateCueList(..) creates the cuelist at a specific location
Playbacks.Select.EditHandle(..) selects the just created cuelist to be edited - know that this sets the property Playbacks.PlaybackEdit.Handle which is required in the next step
Playbacks.AppendOrInsertPlaybackStep() appends/insert (the current programmer contents) as step into the cuelist
Playbacks.PlaybackEdit.Exit() exits the RecordCuelist state
