Thank you for your response but it didn't help much. You describe what I was attempting to do. After playing with it several days later, to clear my mind, I figured it out. I am still doing what you describe but I accomplished it in one step. I selected the output of the first response and "transferred" it to the second request. Thanks again for trying to help.
The automatic point-and-click menus of the soapUI Pro was great. I never would have figured it out in the basic soapUI since I am still learning all this "stuff".
