XSL selection question

Hi All,
      I have an XML file such that:

<report>
-snip-
  <module-installation-requirements sectionID="4">
    <inst-part>
      <part-number>G4P5616EGPPAE500</part-number>
      <description>DESCRIPTION FOR INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS</description>
      <inst-notes>
        <inst-note>
          <view>ENG</view>
          <note>
            <note-title>FREE FORM NOTE</note-title>
            <note-description>TEXT FOR FREE FORM NOTE</note-description>
          </note>
        </inst-note>
        <inst-note>
          <view>ENG</view>
          <note>
            <note-title>FREE FORM NOTE 2</note-title>
            <note-description>TEXT FOR FREE FORM NOTE 2</note-description>
          </note>
        </inst-note>
      </inst-notes>
    </inst-part>
  </module-installation-requirements>
-snip-
</report>

I want the following output



G4P5616EGPPAE500  DESCRIPTION FORINSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS         ENG
FREE FORM NOTE    TEXT FOR FREE FORM NOTE

                                                            ENG
FREE FORM NOTE 2  TEXT FOR FREE FORM NOTE 2

Each of these is a row in my output. How do I select the number and
description the first time but not every time after until I reach a new
number?
I have a template that gives me the nodes, but I also need to handle
different views for the same part/description and potentially multiple
<note> items per view.
My templates look something like this:

                        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

I am certain that I  am making this harder than it sould be, but I am still
having trouble.
Any help is appreciated.

Jeremy
