In order to find out the result of the decisions made in step 1 when I am in step 3, I want to look at the value of some variables. As far as I can tell the only way to keep track of the stuff is in REQUEST.

Nope, you can also use judiciously placed dtml-let's

using exUserFolder). It's the fact that I am acutally using DTML for a lot of core logic that I am using REQUEST.

You really should be using Python Scripts or external methods for this...

<dtml-let> absolutely will not work for me as the variables need to span a bunch of <dtml-in> and <dtml-if> blocks.

What leads you to believe that -let won't work in these cases? cheers, Chris
