Not sure how this would help.

I get some 'raw' Zope code in my page (stuff like <dtml-let .....> etc.)
which suggests that the <dtml-let> statement didn't parse correctly so
showed up in the html. No traceback.

OK I tried:

<DTML_CALL "REQUEST.set('foo', '\'<a href="details?Controller=\' & Model &
\'">\' & Model & \'</a>\' as ModelLink')">

it parses fine. Then I try to use foo like in:

<dtml-let recordset="qry_General(column=foo)">

I get the dreaded NameError error:

Error Type: NameError
Error Value: foo

I solved the problem (eventually) by assigning the string to a property.
