You are right that is not what I wanted but, I just tried 

<xsl:when test="contains (@reference,'.../graphics/gif/DSRbanner.gif')">

and it worked.  You are the man!  my mistake was that I was testing for
something that 
was not there.

This is my xml

.... (ommited code)

<illust secur.const="SPECIAL" poc.agency="BTG"	poc.orgcode="RAR"
poc.author="Edward Medina"
	  poc.phone="(813)-288-0333" poc.email="emedina@xxxxxxx"
	  obj.cutdate="February 22, 2000" obj.id="1"
	  level="1" >
					<image
reference=".../graphics/gif/DSRbanner.gif">

					 </image>
	</illust>
.... (ommited code)


Thank you!  I thought I had tried that before, but apparently not.  It
works.

I also want to thank all the other people who tried to help me.  I've
learned a little
today, and there is room for improvement.  Thanks again!

Eddy

saxon like any other system has the odd bug, but it is probably the most
complete xsl system there is, so I would guess that it is the operator.

Given no information what the source tree looks like, it's hard to guess
what the queries should be.

but...

<xsl:when test="contains (@obj.id,'../packet/illust')">

This is testing if the current element has an obj.id that contains that
string as a substring of the attribute value, so it is true
on <image obj.id="xxxx../packet/illustyyy'> and false on <image/> I
suspect that isn't what you want but perhaps it is?
