Thanks for the example files...I just got it to work!

Actually, last night I tried "<xsl:param name="par"> (default value)
</xsl:param>" (as per the printed copy of _XML Bible_, has the spec changed
or is that still correct?) but that didn't seem to work.
I did just get the example to work, I needed to do 'sabcmd .... "\$par=this
is a test"' -- gotta escape that pesky $ in bash. Ick. Shells can be such
a pain.
I even tried the method of putting the default value within a pair of
xsl:param elements, and that worked too. Guess I just didn't try the proper
combination of param defines and escapes last night..
Thanks again!
