[Zope] dtml-in mapping, and sessions

[Alejandro Fernandez]

Thanks! 

Zope lets me know when I do this, and I pay by waiting a long time for
things to save and then having to cut and paste things somewhere to figure
out the line number... wish there was a cool editor for dtml that worked
on linux... So anyway, I pay in currency of time whenever I improperly
nest something, and the hard punishment teaches me fast :)
