Dieter, thanks for your help, but I'm unsure where to use it.

Using context.this().id, self.this().id, m_self.this().id all get me
the same things:
Folder, Zope, and my method.  None give me the DTML Document
foo_html.

This would seem to be an important thing.

To re-iterate in a different way, it's the same as trying to do:
<dtml-var id> in a DTML Method that is called by a DTML Document.
You expect the id of the DTML Document that called you, not the
Folder that the DTML Document resides in.

Did you mean to do a this().id?  That doesn't work at all, it gives
me a Name Error.

There *must* be a way to do this.

Ciao!
