Thanks Ken.  It worked.  I did learn something new today.

I am able to successfully read from a database.  However if I add the argument to doc() to read files from the file system I do not see anything being displayed - blank page.

for $d in doc("file:///C:/Users/ashekhar/Desktop/Mark Logic/Shakespeare/*.xml")

Can you please help me understand?
 Thanks
Anil
