Thanks so much... The details are what I wanted to know. I am now more enlightened. Damon.

I'm working in a skin within CMF 1.2 and Zope 2.5.0...

I'm trying to clarify how to call a DTML Method with parameters from a python script. The docs I've read say to call it something like this:

result_string = context.myDTMLMethod( None, _, optionalkey1='yada' ) The doc's say something like "__call__(client=None,REQUEST={},Response=None,**kw)".

Probably, you should use:

context.myDTMLMethod(context,context.REQUEST,optionalkey1=...)

Please read "Calling DTML objects" in

<http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>

for details.
