I am not familiar with the object you have stored in local file storage, but
if you have the name of a dtml method stored in a variable (ie. variable
routine contains 'x', where 'x' is the name of a dtml method) then you can
execute that method via:

<dtml-var "_[routine]">


If you have a text file containg dtml code and you want to execute that
code, the only thing i can think of is to place that code into a dtml method
and then execute the method, as follows:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('routine', 'tst')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dtmlcode', '<dtml-var
standard_html_header><dtml-var REQUEST><dtml-var standard_html_footer>')">

<dtml-comment> create the new method </dtml-comment>
<dtml-call "manage_addDTMLMethod(routine, 'atitle')">

<dtml-comment> now put some content into the new dtml method </dtml-comment>
<dtml-call "_.getitem(routine).manage_edit(dtmlcode, 'anewtitle2')">

<dtml-comment> now execute the new method </dtml-comment>
<dtml-var "_[routine]">


To make this work with a text file containing dtml code, just replace the
REQUEST.set('dtmlcode'...  with the code to read your text file and store
the contents in 'dtmlcode'.
