Re: XSL to XSL?

Thanks alot Steve!! AWESOME, in fact.
Yeah, I'm currently using an old version of the Lotus XSL processor
and all my reference books and websites are pretty old as well.
And being not the kind of person, who likes reading the official
standards documentation... I was totally unaware of that command.
Well, here's to upgrading to new processors and trying to find
some more up to date books! :)  Thanks again!
