The root folder can indeed be accessed by PARENTS[-1].

<dtml-with "PARENTS[-1]">

is all you need.

Keep in mind also that if the property of the root folder you're trying to
get at has a unique name, you can get to it via acquisition. (If the
property is called "foo", <dtml-var foo> would look up the property and find
it, all the way at the root.)
