Hi Andrew, I looked through the messages on the support forum and found one message that sat for five days, but that was before the forum was publicly announced, and the question was not related to QuiP. There are other messages that were replied to two days later - in general we try to do better, but this is, after all, free software, and we don't make any specific guarantees for response time. >I realise that I should probably not have begun to explore Quip late in the >evening while my time was particularly pressurised.

I believe there are over 70 example queries in the distribution you downloaded, queries that operate on on about 14 sample XML files. The Shakespeare examples have to be loaded into a Tamino database before they work, but the rest of them work out of the box. Just hit the "open" button on the GUI, and you will see a list of queries. Pick any of the non-Shakespeare queries for starters. If you want to do the Shakespeare queries, you will have to download Tamino and install the .xml in a database first - or modify the queries, but they do run slowly on plain text files, without indexing.
