I think i found the solution.  I thought that my "standard_html_header" in
my top level would suffice as the "start" method, and my "navigation" method
is similar to the "voodoo" method.  My public interface "index_html" is a
dtml document.  When i changed "index_html" to a dtml method everything
worked.  So now from within "index_html" i just call "<!--#var
#dtContent"--> to render the content.

It is still peculiar to me why "Objectvalues('Folder')" has no values when
you call it from a dtml document but has values when you call it from a dtml
method.  Why is this the case?
