When I use them in a test file:

The problem is a common one.
Invoking a method via a URL is *not* the same as invoking a method by using the var tag in DTML.
Ok - all this made a great deal of sense, and I felt I was armed with some good info . . .but . . .
Another solution is to not get the REQUEST from the arguments. This way your method can be called both from DTML and from the ORB.
def dwName(self,REQUEST=None): "find the authenticated user" if REQUEST is None and hasattr(self,'REQUEST'): REQUEST=self.REQUEST return "%s" % self.REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER']
This works. . . .
ummm, no it doesn't . . . dwName is defined EXACTLY as you have it here. It is located in the ./Extentions directory in the file dwxm.py. test2.xm is defined as an external method that calls dwName from that file. test.xm calls dwTime from that file. Again, <!--#var test2.xm--> bombs. doing <!--#var "dwName()"--> dies as well. Again calling it from the external methods tab works just fine.
