Hello all,

I have the following simple code fragment:

dtml-call "REQUEST.set('test',UserExists)">
 <br /> The value of test is <dtml-var test> <br />

Where 'UserExists' is a boolean value set using <dtml-let>. I want to be
sure that 'UserExists' is being copied into 'test', but <dtml-var test>
does not yield the
value of 'UserExists' (in fact, it yields nothing at all). What am I
doing wrong? Also, I have some doubt about the scope of the REQUEST
variable. For instance, if in the next line of the code fragment
a call is made to another dtml method called "myMethod", does the
REQUEST variable 'test' go out of scope in "myMethod"? Thanks for your
time.
