For a different viewpoint - 
I've not installed dtml-set here - not because I don't trust it, or 
whatever, but because of a belief that if you're doing this sort of 
thing (or using REQUEST.set( ) a lot for control) then you're not 
doing things right. Use the right tool for the job - DTML isn't the 
right tool for control or logic. Use a PythonScript for that. Keep
DTML for templating, but really, really don't try to do everything 
in DTML. Really. You'll go mad mad MAD mahahahaha. Erm. Sorry.
