something like this works for me... 

        dtmlstring = """ some <!--#var dtmlstuff --> blah blah blah """
        Results = DocumentTemplate.HTML(dtmlstring)
        Results = apply(Results, (self, REQUEST), 
                 {  'dtmlstuff' : 'bananas' } )

where 'self' is the instance, REQUEST the request object (if you 
have things there that you want to look up)

or are you also talking about recursing, doing lookups, &c?
