How To Properly Limit Result From Eutils To Get Tinyseq Xml Output

I have a gene of interest. Eg., TPMP It is this one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Graphics&list_uids=7172

In XML I can get the same info via this link: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=gene&id=7172&retmode=xml

I can see that the reference sequence has accession number NC_000006 in NUCORE. I need position seq_start=18128542&seq_stop=18155374

An nice web view of my problem is here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_000006.11?from=18128542&to=18155374&report=genbank&strand=true (*)

How can I convert the last link (marked by star) to get the same info in XML. My goal was to get TinySeq XML format back. I tried this, but with no good luck. I always get the full 6th chromosome http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nuccore&id=NC_000006&strand=2&seq_start=18128542&seq_stop=18155374&rettype=fasta&retmode=xml (warning, 160MB file)

Wow. Thanks for pointing that . I noticed that the IDs are strange. What is that second ID? Given this fact, now I just need to translate from NC_000006.11 to the different ID system (224589818). Any hits appreciated.
