Thanks -- the latter did it.

On a slight tangent: What would you recommend as an initial course for
grokking the TAL stuff (page templates?)?

In looking for instance at your own CMFTopic you seem to have both dtml
methods and a matching (sub-)set of ZPT stuff under .../skins/topic and
.../skins/zpt_topic respectively and I'm not quite clear on the reason
or cause for having both or their differences.
