I think a simpler approach (possibly more solve-able) would be to DTHL
let img = 'Figure1' and just use a normal method that relies on the img
variable, no passing variables. I say this because your trying access
the "img = 'Figure1'" from an unknown point in the zope namespace from
your "showImage" method. (__don't take this as "the last word" unless
some else backs my up!__)  But from another email, I believe you lose
all the normal stuff calling DTML methods like you are and not including
the namespace and REQUEST...
