[Zope] NewBie DTMl Help

[Kevin Carlson]

In my example I was using the variable 'password' that I'm guess you 
supplied in the request from your form.  You need to substitute your own 
variables for these items.

The equivalent to dtml-call in a script is just to call the item (e.g., 
auth=context.Authenticate_user()).  If you don't care about the return 
value, don't make an assignment.

It would probably be a good idea to read the chapter on scripting in the 
Zope Book which you can find online at www.zope.org.
