Hello Olivier,

Thank you for your help. The call to the method seems ok, but the code
of the method is displayed instead of been executed. May be is it a
code for external method ? Other things to do instead copying the code
to the DTML method code window in the Zope interface ?

Anyway, could someone please post an exemple of an DTML method
accepting parameters - that is the code to put in the proper windows
in the Zope interface - or a pointer to a document explaining how to
proceed ?

Thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Eric
