####I am now here. The formcalls results

<form action="results" method="POST">

####results is as follows

def results(req, searchWords):
      if not (searchWords):
          #req.write
          answer = "<H2>Nothing to search for. Nothing Found</H2>"
 

      handle = SwishE.new('/usr/local/swish-e/index.swish-e')
      search = handle.search('')
      results = search.execute(searchWords)
      files = [r.getproperty('swishdocpath') for r in results]
 

      #req.write
      answer = "The files found are: %s" % files

      return _any_page(req, 'results')

#####So when the results_template.html

<p>
<h3>Search Results</h3>

<p>
  <%answer%>

#####it inserts

NameError: name 'answer' is not defined

I don't know why it is not defined.  If I call req.write direct in 
results() it will spit out answer and the the html from the template as 
plain text tags included.

I have tried calling the function in psp tags to no avail.  searchWords 
is then undefined.  I guess what I need to know is how to pass those 
variable to the html templates.  DO I need to import something, within 
psp tags, in the html template?

TIA
