ZPTs deliberately have nothing like the DTML namespace, although they 
can deal with it if you pass it explicitly.  I presume that 'showRow' is 
the ZPT, here?

There might be a really roundabout clever hack to do that, but is it 
really a requirement?  The following should do what you need, if you're 
willing to touch showRow:

<dtml-with "qryA()[0]">
  <dtml-call expr="showRow(ns=_)">
</dtml-with>

...and change showRow to use "options/ns/whatever" to access the 
'whatever' value in the namespace.
