Yes, both the document I'm editing here and the one I want to load 
are DTML documents.

Yes, I did that. That works with the name of the file I want to load 
placed inside single quotation marks.

The Python script is pretty simple and I don't see how it can be 
returning a wrong result:

daynum="1"
return 'day'+daynum+'.html'

When I test that script in Zope, it returns a string of the right contents!

This is quite bewildering.
