Hi,

I want to find an efficient way of adding a dictionary of values to the =
Zope namespace, where a different dictionary could be set on each =
request.

I wanted to create a several dictionaries each containing properties for =
a look and feel (i.e. background colors, fonts etc), and switch them for =
each request.

For example I'd like to do something similar to what's done below =
(although the method below doesn't work).
*************************************************************************=
***************
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('LookAndFeel',m_getRandomLookAndFeel())">

(assuming the Look and Feel Dictionary has key's LOOK_COLOR, and =
LOOK_FACE)

<dtml-with LookAndFeel>
   <font color=3D"<dtml-var LOOK_COLOR>" face=3D"<dtml-var LOOK_FACE>">
      I know the with doesn't work for the dictionary, but would like to =
do something similar to this example.
   </font>
</dtml-with>
*************************************************************************=
***************

thanks in advance,

Adam
