[Zope] Calling a DTML Method from within an External Method

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Bruce,

	Yes.. You'll need to pass in whatever namespaces needed to resolve 
references used by the DTML method, so you'll need to pass these into 
the external method (so that they can be forwarded to your DTML method). 
The DTML call signature is something like:

theMethod( client, mapping, **kw)

Probably the most frequently used pattern is just:

result = theDTMLMethod(None, _)

where "_" is the DTML namespace.

but you can also pass an object in as a client, and add any "keyword" 
arguments you like, and they will also then resolve in the DTML method.

hope that helps!
