Remove <?xml version> line from output?

Hi,
I'm using xalan to transform XML documents to RTF.  It works fine except I
get the 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line as the first line of my file
which has 
to be stripped off before it will work as a RTF document.

Is there anyway to suppress this during the transformation so I don't have
to resort 
to string manipulation on the finished file.  (I'm just using the
SimpleTransform 
demo program from Xalan.)

So, basically

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1 
etc...

will become 

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1 
etc.

Thanks,
Kerry.
