Hi Michael,
I forgot to mention the result I want: a new xml document with the <Items>
(and their children) from both files in a single list as children of a new
<List> element --that is, make a single <List> of both files in a new
document. Since I made my original tries a few years ago, I no longer know
what I did wrong then. Although my style sheet works, I am confident I do
not understand the proper way to do this.
Sorry to be so dense,
Mark

Since it worked, I moved on to tougher problems. I am embarrassed to ask,
but what is it I donbt understand? I could not get these two files
combined without doubling one of them until I used b dummy.xmlb (an empty
xml file) in the bat file command line:
You haven't said what else you tried, so it's hard to tell you why it
didn't work. Not sure what you mean by "without doubling one of them".
If you don't want a dummy input file you can always change match="/*" on
this template to name="main", and set -it:main on the command line. And
delete the "* |" from the select, which doesn't seem to be doing
anything useful.

java -jar c:\Users\HP\saxon\saxon9.jar dummy.xml xslt\40Combine.xsl >
work\40Combined.xml
My style sheet 40Combine.xsl consists of a single template:
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="* | document('../work/22Authors.xml')/*/*"
copy-namespaces="no"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="* | document('../work/35Subjects.xml')/*/*"
copy-namespaces="no"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
22Authors.xml contains:
<List>
<Item>
<Heading entry="author"> Tabor, South Dakota. Chamber of Commerce
