[Zope-dev] cascading dictionaries

I am building a dictionary in an external method: dict = {'user_name':'jim', 'password':'powers'} I also add it to the request: container.REQUEST.set('results', dict) The problem is that I am unable to retrieve the results dictionary on my dtml document. When I do: <dtml-var "REQUEST.get('results')"> I can see my dictionary but I am not able to get the individual values in the dictionary. Nothing worked so far. I guess it's a case of cascading dictionaries in dtml document. Help, please
