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

      DTML is the "other" Zope facility for the creation of
      presentation in Zope.  Two kinds of DTML objects are addable
      from the Zope Management Interface: *DTML Documents* and *DTML
      Methods*.  Both kinds of objects allow you to perform
      *security-constrained* presentation logic.  The code placed into
      DTML objects is constrained by Zope's *security policy*, which
      means, for the most part, that they are unable to import all but
      a set of restricted Python "modules", and they cannot directly
      access files on your filesystem.  This is actually a "feature",
      as it allows site administrators to safely delegate the ability
      to create DTML to "untrusted" or "semi-trusted" users.  For more
      information about Zope's security features, see "Users and
      Security":Security.stx.
