Cheers Phil,
However "on closer examination" of the Zope-Dev list! :) I found a 
clue, I should use this construct;
<params>number</params>
def doit(number):
     import xmlrpclib
     server_url="http://xmlrpc.server:9999"
     server=xmlrpclib.Server(server_url)
     return server.getTranscript(number)

print doit(number)
return printed

I couldn't find 'printed' in any file in the PythonMethods docs or 
.py files, but it was in the 'Voodoo area' (ie the zbytecodehacks 
directory...deep deep python).

Getting there!

Cheers
tone.
