I'd like to be able to be able to get the text associated with a given
heading (based on the current point, for example).
Can anyone point me to an example for doing this in the approved manner
(assuming there is one), or to functions to help with this?
Kind regards,
Mike

Don't trust me to give you an approved manner, but a couple of options:
* If you just care about headlines and assuming you want all
associated content, including the headline text itself, perhaps
calling org-copy-subtree non-interactively will suffice.
If that doesn't behave how you want, looking at org-copy-subtree's
source could still give you an idea of how to do what you want in
elisp.
* You could use the org-element API to get the information and likely
could easily tweak something like below to suit your needs.
(and (ignore-errors (org-back-to-heading t))
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
(buffer-substring
(org-element-property :begin el)
(org-element-property :end el))))
