We'll fix this typo.

I hope you are not an author, but someone paid to customize XXE for a
group of authors (i.e. an external consultant or the local guru). End
users are not supposed to do what you are trying to do. Unlike most
other products, XXE is not designed to let end users do that.
Please find attached to this email, a docbook customization file
(created using a text editor) which adds conversion to single-page XHTML
to the DocBook menu.

Please save attached file as C:\Documents and
Settings\{user}\xxe\config\mydocbook.xxe and then restart XXE. If you
want to test them, you'll have to open a DocBook document (i.e. not a
Simplified DocBook one). You'll notice two new menu entries at the end
of the DocBook menu.
Note that the above customization requires you to use a recent XXE
(because of the "xxe-config:" style URLs).
If you really want to understand how all this works in order to adapt it
to your needs, I'm sorry but you'll have to spent *several hours*
reading badly written documentation, at least:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch05.html
and
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch04.html
