| Hi,
| I wonder how one would show the dtml documents in a folder with a 
| dtml statement.  I see it working with the tree command and I see 
| it working in Yihaw, but there must be a simple way to show just 
| files as links by some sort of call with the subfolder name.  Any 
| ideas?

Here's possibly the ugliest idea..

<dtml-with SubFolder>
<dtml-in "objectIds()">
<a href="<dtml-var "_.getitem(_['sequence-item'],0).absolute_url()">"><dtml-var sequence-item></a><br>
</dtml-in>
</dtml-with>

We use objectIds() rather than objectValues in case you want to pass a mask
to objectIds(). This way we only instantiate the objects we're interested
it.

We could have used nested calls to getitem, but, that wasn't as funky looking.
