i have a way around this which will shortly be at the following url:
http://www.zope.org/Members/careymatt/dreamweaver_dtml_objects

basically its an extension for dreamweaver, which once loaded using 
the extension manager, will let the application understand (to some 
extent) dtml tags. some of the 'features' include:

-- you can see your dtml page in the wysywig view
(though if you have your body tags and any stylesheets in a common 
html header it won't pick them up). in most cases this will only 
cause problems with the look of the page

-- it won't flash up dtml tags as unrecognised code and write them 
into the body of the page, thus ruining any page layouts

-- common dtml tags represented by different icons

-- a dtml pane in the objects palette from where you can insert a 
dtml tag


i have a few things left to finish plus the installer file, which 
is taking a while as there are a lot of files to insert into 
dreamweaver. hopefully in about a week this will be available for 
everyone to use and give me feedback...

cheers
