Mike,
I found an expression for exactly what I was looking for in your
book. 1st edition p. 514 bottom of the page under Substring.

Now my xsl reads like this:
  
<xsl:variable name="qq">.</xsl:variable>
  <xsl:for-each select="//C03//CORPNAME">
    <xsl:variable name="getit" select="."/>
    <xsl:variable name="pvnum" select="..//@ID"/>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="contains($getit, $qq) and
substring(substring-after($getit, $qq), 2, 1)=$qq">
          <TR>
            <TD><xsl:value-of select="."/></TD>
          </TR>
        </xsl:when>
      </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:for-each>

I got it and it works. I am a little bleary-eyed (small font!), but
thanks.

Mike F.
