Thanks, Yes, showFiles is a DTMLMethod and your positional 
parameters seemed to work, but now the error is: 
Error Type: KeyError
Error Value: avc
which refers to the showFiles Method which is as follows:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h2>AVC files:</h2>

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('expand_all',_.int(1))">
<dtml-tree avc branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder','DTML 
Document'])"  sort=id>

<dtml-if "meta_type=='Folder'">
  <dtml-if expr="title == ''">

  <dtml-else>
    <h3><dtml-var title ></h3>
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-if>

<dtml-if "meta_type=='DTML Document'"> 
  <dtml-if "title == ''">
  
  <dtml-else>
    <li><dtml-var id>::&nbsp;<A HREF="&dtml-absolute_url;" 
target=display>
    <dtml-var title></a></li>
  </dtml-if> 
</dtml-if>

</dtml-tree>
  
</body>
</html>
--------
This Method works perfectly well when called from a 
DTMLDocument, but somehow doesn't when called from the python 
script.

Any further suggestions greatly appreciated.

Tom
