[Zope] Re: selection list confusion ...

Hi, Darran

If you are in a DTML Method,

<dtml-in "globals.Choices">

should work.

If you are in a DTML Document,  you probably have to do something like:

<dtml-in "PARENTS[-1].globals.Choices">

If you are doing this within a ZClass, you can put Choices on a
PropertySheet, then  refer to it as 

<dtml-in Choices>
