Thanks for the help.  I downloaded XT, and I think I am going to start
using it instead of LotusXSL.  The NULL match issue is solved.  However I
am still having trouble with the URL.

>& is deprecated as a parameter separator, use ; instead if possible.  Then

News to me.  People sure are not following the spec.  I am nearly 100% sure
that servlets don't support ;...I haven't had the opportunity to test it

If I use &amp; the resulting HTML has &amp; in it...Is there ANY way to get
XT to output &?

Thanks again,
