Here is the output of a test dtml document, and the source, that demonstrates that setting keys of REQUEST inside a <dtml-with REQUEST> does not work. Is dtml designed to misbehave this way, or is it a bug? Is the <dtml-with REQUEST> superfluous? Why does it change the behavior of setting keys? Is there any way to work around the problem? Thanks! -Don test This is the test Document. Foo should be "one", and is "one". Foo should be "two", and is "two". Foo should be "three", and is "three". HOWEVER: Foo is now "three". Foo should be "one", and is "three". Foo should be "two", and is "three". Foo should be "three", and is "three". BUT THEN: Foo is now "three". Foo should be "one", and is "one".
