Vasu,
	Is it possible that Bill could use an xsl:parameter to get a
variable input from outside, or do xsl:parameters only work at nested levels
WITHIN the xsl...?

No!!
you can only refer to nodeset in the xsl:for-each... you are tryin to refer 
to a variable through $myvar .. which is wrong...

if you wanted to do something in the lines of picking up all the items whose

name is "DEC" or what ever, then you may want to try the following..
Your XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<collection>
<intro>My Computer Collection</intro>
	<item>
         <manufacturer>DEC</manufacturer>
         <model>MicroVAX 3100-30</model>
         <opsys>OpenVMS 5.5-2</opsys>
         <cpu>25MHz</cpu>
         <memory>unknown</memory>
         <enclosure>BA42-B</enclosure>
         <notes>none</notes>
	</item>
	<item>
         <manufacturer>COMPAQ</manufacturer>
         <model>COMPAQ II</model>
         <opsys>OpenVMS 5.5-2</opsys>
         <cpu>KA630</cpu>
         <memory>unknown</memory>
         <enclosure>BA23 rackmount</enclosure>
         <notes>This is my first VAX which I hope to get running
         with OSU (=DECthreads)</notes>
	</item>
</collection>


XSL:

( to select the model of an item with the manufacturer as DEC or COmpaq or 
whichever u choose ... i have only selected the Model... you may select 
which ever u want to)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/collection/item[manufacturer = 'DEC']">
<xsl:value-of select="model"/>
<br></br>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In the above style sheet you are specific about the manufacturer value.. you

can change that value to 'Compaq' to get all the items whose manufacturer is

Compaq..

HTH ( if this is what you want )
