Hi Ben,
How about this?
<dtml-call "SESSION.set('foo', something(_.None,_))">
I still don't understand it fully even though it was explained to me a few times, but I think its something to do with expressions always having to satisfy that the method must return something (self).

2/ Get HappySession or another user session management product to keep the value between two requests
I tried this (since REQUEST didn't fill the request) and used this line: <dtml-call "SESSION.set('foo', something)"> where *something* was a dtml method that executed the evaluation of a python expression. Now, whereas REQUEST *was* able to execute said expression and HappySession *was* happy substituting a simple string, HappySession was not happy evaluating the python expression :(
Any more ideas? TIA, BenO

OOPS! Correction...
...but apparently it's not. If I were writing this in PHP:
<html><body> Okay, boys and girls! Let's open the magic box and generate a random number! (applause)<br and drum roll> <? x = int mt_rand(0,9); echo x ?><br, strike up the band> Wow! Wasn't that exciting? Oh no! I forgot the magic number<br, shrieks of horror> <? echo x ?><br, strike up the band again> Oh, of course! How could I forget!<br, fade to black> </body></html>
...but apparently DTML *does* forget. Call that daggone variable more than once and you have to run the formula that generates a random digit! Bam! Variable's gone. Is there no way around this? Please help... BenO
