Hey all,

Am i just missing something simple here?  I want to keep certain
DTML Methods in a common folder so they can be used from anywhere.

I have:

TestFolder
    index_html
Util
    utility_function

Now my confusion.  Within TestFolder.index_html, I'd like to be
able to:

<dtml-var "Util.utility_function">

but this returns unrendered content of utility_function.  I can

<dtml-with Util><dtml-var utility_function></dtml-with>

but I hate <dtml-with> ... and I can also

<dtml-var "Util.utility_function(REQUEST=REQUEST)">

but that is also a little long-winded. 

Comments? Advice?  Thanks ...
