That works well for rendering the form. Thank you.

Yes. I saw that too in my research. But I am not looking to authenticate 
users. The validation I seek is that which is built into Formulator but 
doesn't seem to work with TAL.

Of much_greater_importance is getting the fields to render. In other words, 
after the visitor has filled out the form, I need to be able to call and 
use those fields. For example, how do I thank the visitor by name using 
TAL? How do I do the equivalent of this:
<dtml-var your_name>
TIA,
