Hi again:
I just found that the statement I included in my previous message does
not actually do what I need done. It seems to be equivalent to
<xsl:apply-templates select="//INFO-OBJ" />. So now my question is how
to formulate a statement such as the one below so that it will return a
collection of all INFO-OBJ elements that are not children of INFO-OBJ
elements?
