xsl:value-of generates text values in the result tree. If you want to copy
other types of nodes from source tree to the result tree, use xsl:copy or
xsl:copy-of. For example (not tested):
<p id="pInstructions"><xsl:copy-of select="//INTROMSG/node()"></p>
You might also want to reconsider using // to find the INTROMSG element, as
that could become a performance nightmare. Think about using a key, or
embedding the absolute path to the node.

For simplification, I'm now trying this:
<INTROMSG>
Please click on the <img id="imgAlert"
src="http://aaa/images/pic.gif" /> in order to continue.
</INTROMSG>
and in XSL I'm doing this:
<p id="pInstructions"><xsl:value-of select="//INTROMSG"></p>
but my result is still:
Please click on the in order to continue.
however, if I change my XSL to:
<p id="pInstructions">Please click on the <img id="imgAlert"
src="http://aaa/images/pic.gif" /> in order to continue.</p>
it works.
What am I missing?

You can do that, but you have to put _data_ in the users file which the
processor can use to customise its behaviour, you can't put in snippets
of XSLT/XPath code, any more than you'd expect a program written in C
to be able to incorporate random bits of C source code embedded in a
document.
