I have a text property on a ZClass, and <dtml-var propertyname> works
fine for me.  If you do a view source, what do you see?  I suspect
you've got an "<instance-of-something>" in there, which of course
your browser won't render.  What that something is might give
a clue as to why your call isn't printing the value of the property.

In any case, I suspect that

<dtml-with Object>
  <dtml-var property>
</dtml-with>

will print what you expect.  (The quotes required to get Object.property
to work change the rules about how an object is interpreted: inside
the quotes you are operating in Python rather than DTML).
