[Zope] REQUEST syntax

[Tommy Johnson]

You can't nest <dtml> tags. Yeah, that threw me for a loop when I first
started too. ;-)

You'll have to access the namespace for the inner variable in another way.
Usually, I use the underscore for this. Probably something like:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', _['Login'])">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password',  _['password'])">

HTH,
Tommy
