First things first, in case you hadn't heard, XML is case-sensitive,
so 

<xsl:template match="journal"> 

is never going to find

<JOURNAL OWNER = "ECKHART.CURT" TITLE = "Curt's Personal Journal"> 

So far so bad.

MSXML is a fine parser for XSL/XSLT, and super convenient too. but among
other issues, it requires a preamble containing at least:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
   <!-- Match the root node -->
   <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
   </xsl:template>
   
(Well it used to anyway, I haven't hacked the new one everyones talking
about yet.)

Add that to your XSL file and you're on the way to getting results.

I dunno which FAQs youve tried so far, but you might as well look at the
actual docs under
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/default.asp
Seeing as that's your platform. Plenty of examples there. It may not
explain why to do things a certain way, but it'll sure tell you how to
get going.
