    I'm not certain what's happened here.  Since the DTML was able to find
getPortal (in the object's context) I can't see why Toolbox.__call__ was
unable to find that method on the object.  Furthermore, I can't reproduce
the problem.  Is it possible that I could examine your site myself?

    This is kind of ugly.  Zope seems to treat objects called 'index_html'
differently, though I don't know this for certain.  It seems as though it
never looks for an 'index_html' method on an object named 'index_html'.  
If I add '__call__=index_html' to the class, the DTML method is called but
not in the context of the object (??!) so there are KeyErrors trying to
reference any of the object's attributes.  This deserves some more of my
attention.  Suggestions are appreciated!
