a) Put this into <zope>\Extensions\qaz.py:

import os
def qaz():
        return os.popen("dir *.*").read()

b) Add an External Method 'qaz' somewhere, id=qaz. Module Name=qaz,  
    Function  Name=qaz.

c) Use the "Test" tab or use it like so: <dtml-var qaz>, i.e.

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2>var</h2>
<pre>
<dtml-var qaz html_quote>
</pre>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
