Sorry, but I don't understand it, how to change/choose my result in
product with programatic way (not in dtml).

I want to do like this:

1. get requests
2. if request has some plus tags, I parse them
3. if none tags, I show default index
4. if have tags, I show two or three merged dtml document, some
   variabled sections.
   (example: when the tag is ?cmd=make_print, I replace the css to
   another to easiest printing the document. Etc, etc)

So: how to I load an DTML document from file, and render it to string
    variable as structure ?

df1=Globals.DTMLFile('www/index1',globals())
df2=Globals.DTMLFile('www/index2',globals())
return df1+"\n"+df2

???

Thanx for advance.
