Hi,

   How can I get an <xsl:value-of select="." /> to return only the value of the 
   current node and not it's child node as well?
   Thanks
   Lou

   PS thanks for all the helpful answers to my previous questions

I think you asked the wrong question.
the expression you quote does, by definition, return the value of the
current node (only).

If you want the value of the text children of the current node
do <xsl:copy-of select="text()"/>
