Hello there,
I assume that you have installed Saxon and updated your path so that you can run it from anywhere.
If at your windows command prompt you just type saxon, it will tell you exactly what parameters it expects.
If you type saxon -o <filename>.htm <xml file> <style sheet file>
you get <filename>.html as your output file which you can look at using your browser. This of course provided that there are no errors in your style sheet file and that your xml file is valid.
Hope this helps
