      We are building an xlate between a VRL and HL7.  The data in the VRL fields are enclosed in quotes.  I am a tcl beginner, but I know there is a proc I can add to the COPY action that will strip the quotes out.  My guess would be that the set commentlist and set xlateOutvals commands would be a start.  Can one of you tcl hotshots fill in the rest?

          Here is a proc (and doc) if you want to use it.

            Thanks for the doc and proc, it looks like just what I need.  So if I am reading the doc correctly, within the xlate, I create a COPY command for the three arguments, and then a final one which includes the source and destination?  I need to use this proc on all 20 fields of the VRL, so do I need to create the aforementioned three COPY commands, and then add 20 more with the @xlt_trim statements and the source and destination?
