You can't. But you can set variables using the set method of the REQUEST
object. More info can be found in the FAQ (a work in progress from the Zope
Documentation Project, aka ZDP). A online version can be found at
http://www.gaaros.com:9673/FAQ, the question to look for is in the DTML
section, and called 'How do I define a variable for use in a document?'.
