maybe you could do: <!--#call "REQUEST.set('L',[1]+L[1:_.len(L)])"--> this would create a new list with the first item being 1 and the rest being, well, the rest and replace the old list. Pretty ugly, though... BTW, I had a similar problem about 10 minutes ago with dictionaries. A solution I found: <!--#call "REQUEST.mydict.update({'key':'value})"--> HTH, John Jarvis

Hi, How can I replace the value in a list defined in REQUEST? For example, in a DTML Document: <!--#call "REQUEST.set('L',['a',2,3,4,5])"--> How can I replace the value 'a' in list L with 1 so that L become [1,2,3,4,5]? In Python, it's easy. L[0]=1. How can one do the same thing in Zope DTML Document?
