[Zope] REQUEST var and links in page

[AM]

Hi,

I have a DTML doc at the top of which I set a REQUEST var:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('x',y)">

Now in the page I have a set of links that O generate via a PyScript of 
the form
http://site:8080/page?a=b&c=d

Now if I do a <dtml-var REQUEST> in page I dont see the request variable 
I set at the top of the page namely 'x'. I thought REQUEST variables 
were propogated when one followed links (as against typing the URL in 
the location bar).

Is the presence of a query string screwing things up here??

TIA
AM
