Hi Lee,

>From the Zope Book, Appendix A - DTML Reference:
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/AppendixA.dtml

"
etc=arg
Specifies a string to add to the end of a string which has been truncated
(by setting the size attribute listed above). By default, this is ...
Examples
[snip]

Truncation:

        <dtml-var colors size=10 etc=", etc.">

will produce the following output if colors is the string 'red yellow
green':

        red yellow, etc.
"

Will that do what you are looking for?

Eric.
