The latest version is here:

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/view

There's also a PDF version if you want to print it.

You should ensure that the names of your DTMLFile objects are *class*
variables, not instance variables (i.e., they're defined at the same
indentation level as your class "def" statements).  Defining them as
instance variables (e.g. in __init__) is the only thing I could think of
that would produce the behavior you describe.  

And don't change the .dtml suffix... that's required.

If that doesn't do it, some more detail about how you're coding and
calling your dtml objects would be helpful.

HTH,
