[Zope] DTML in Product WWW does not bring images

[zope news]

I Tried, I really did, but I just did not get it.  Looking at the code it
just doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe someone can give me a clue -- Here is what I started to do:

Let's say that my class is in:
/usr/share/zope/lib/python/MyClass

In the __init__.py class i have:

import Globals
misc_ = { 'MyPic' : Globals.ImageFile('www/MyPic.jpg',globals()) }

in MyClass.py i have

index_html = DTMLFile( 'www/view_html',globals())


in view_html.dtml which is in /usr/share/zope/lib/python/MyClass/www I have

....
<img src="<dtml-var SCRIPT_NAME>/misc_/MyClass/MyPic"> .....

Is this correct??

If yes, why DOESN'T SCRIPT_NAME expand to anything when viewed ?  What is
the value that should go there?  And why does misc_ appear before MyClass, I
would have thought it goes the other way around?

Thanks for any help,
regards,
Luis.
