Ugh. That's a bit messy. Neater to do:

<SELECT name="month">
  <dtml-in "('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar')" prefix=month>
  <OPTION <dtml-if "month_item == month">SELECTED</dtml-if> value="<dtml-var
month_item>"><dtml-var month_item></OPTION>
  </dtml-in>
</SELECT>

The error in your code is instead of _.['sequence-item'] it needs to be
_['sequence-item']

There's a couple of other errors in examples in the Zope Bible so mail the
list again if you get stuck.
