---------------

      Zope Page Templates don't work particularly well with the
      form/action pattern since it assumes that input processing and
      response presentation are handled by the same object (the
      action). Instead of the form/action pattern you should use
      form/action/response pattern with Page Templates. The form and
      response should be Page Templates and the action should be a
      script. The form template gathers the input and calls the action
      script. The action script should process the input and return a
      response template. This pattern is more flexible than the
      form/action pattern since it allows the script to return any of
      a number of different response objects.

         A decent DTML user also does form/action/response, DTML newbies are mislead.
         But for really small computations a separate script seems overkill.
