How do I make use of DTMLFile from an External Method?
No matter what I try, I can't get it to work.  I think I'm
now close, but can't get past this latest problem:
Here's my External Method:
----
from Globals import InitializeClass, DTMLFile, package_home
from Acquisition import Implicit
from Globals import Persistent
from DocumentTemplate import HTML
def tst1():
stuff = DTMLFile('Extensions/sample', globals())
  results = stuff()
return results
<untested>

First define the dml method "sample" somewhere in Zope. Ie. in the same 
folder as your external method:

And then put something like this in the external method:

def tst1(self):
    return self.sample(None, self)

</untested>
