Thanks Phillip. This indeed got me closer, but I'm still not quite there
yet. I'm building system that has dynamically generated buttons on it. The
name of each input is based on the contents of a TinyTable thusly:
 
	     <select name="<!--#var Category-->" size=1>
	              <!--#in "PriceTable(PriceGroup=_['Category'])"-->
          	  <option><!--#var Description-->
                        <!--#call "REQUEST.set('cost',Cost)"-->
              <!--#/in-->

This works beautifully, and generates HTML that looks like:

                 <select name="Processor" size=1>
                              <option>AMDK6 350
                              <option>Celeron 333
                              <option>PentiumII 450
                  </select>

So now, I want to get at the value of the variable named "Processor," but I
don't "know" that the name of the variable is "Processor" hence the
indirection. Using your chunk of code above, my traceback reflects the
following change in the correct direction but not quite there.

	<!--
 	Error type:  
 	Error value: Processor
 	-->

I'm guessing that I need another level of indirection and I'm not quite
sure how to get there.

Thanks.
