[Zope] [newbie] cgi-tasks howto? stupid question

[Rajil Saraswat]

hi,
 is there any document around which list procedures how to accomplish
simple cgi tasks with dtml. say i get a input into a text box thru the
browser with the name as valname. Then how do i print this valname thru
dtml.
ofcourse i checked out with the guides but could locate cgi calls,
something called request i did find, but dont know how to use it.
thankx
ps: dont kick me out, everybody has to have a start.
