You need to apply a stylesheet that transforms the XML document to look like your xmlLinguist Map. Keep in mind that xmlLinguist does not do any tranformations, it leaves all that work to be done by an already standard language (i.e. XSLT). What it does is a direct translation of the document formats (text or XML). So, when going from XML to Text, you need a stylesheet that transforms your XML document into something that looks a lot like the Text document, and then have your map applied to it.

There's a good tutorial on this at our website at www.sysonyx.com/xml-to-edi-850 that describes how to transform a proprietary XML document into an X12 850 Purchase Order and "glues" everything together with a VBScript.
