This won't work, because you can't index on the result of a DTML Method. 
The DTML Method doesn't get called with the usual client and REQUEST 
objects, so the method has no means of obtaining the title, author and body 
parameters.

You can do it with an External Method:

   def AllField(self)
       return self.title + self.author + self.body

or you could make a property on you object that on every update gets filled 
with the contents of title + author + body.
