Something like.

I asked this question a long time ago, and refound the answer by
searching the zope.nipltd.com mailing list archives using the
search terms 'resolve and url'.

<dtml-with "REQUEST.resolve_url('/some/local/url')">

I also have a vauge memory that this may be a depricated interface
and that 2.2 has some new method you should use instead.  But I couldn't
come up with a search phrase to get the right message for that one <frown>.
