Hi Michael -
Thanks very much.
Truly tho, I'm a total XSL newbie & am looking for a handout. :)
How might I make an xsl function for this & how would I call it?
Anyone care to help?
tokenize($in, '\W')[position() = 1 to $n]
Thanks --
Matt

In XSLT 2.0, that's
tokenize($in, '\W')[position() = 1 to $n]
where $in is your input string and $n is the number of words.
It's a fair bit harder in XSLT 1.0 (most things are).
