Dear Trusted Zope Zealots, This subject was a bit too broad to do a google search on, because I've tried and the lack of relevancy was astounding. I've probably been committing a cardinal sin in DTML, but I couldn't figure any other work around. I have an HTML form in a DTML Document say: <form action="process_this_form" method="post" Name:<input type="text" name:"first_name"> </form> I want to use "first_name" in a python script, but what I've been doing is setting it in the process_this_form, which is a DTML method: DTML Method, process_this_form: <dtml-call "REQUEST.SESSION.set('firstName', first_name)> <dtml-call "this_is_a_python_script()"> and in the Python Script, this_is_a_python_script I use REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName') What my question is, is there anyway to directly access "first_name" from the form in the python script without having to have to call the <dtml-call "REQUEST.SESSION.set('firstName', first_name)> and then REQUEST.SESSION.get('firstName') in the python script. Sort of a sophomoric question, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Muk
