not sure what you want to accomplish. if you want to set a variable in the current namespace you can use the <dtml-let> tag, like <dtml-let newvar="oldvar"> </dtml-let> or <dtml-let newvar="'somestring'"> </dtml-let> if its a literal string. if you want to add/edit a dtml method you will have to use one of the manage* methods, like <dtml-call "manage_addDTMLMethod('somemethod','title',file=_.str(somevar))"> where somevar is a var that holds your data. the zope quick ref. document has a list of these manage* methods: http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR hth peter.
