Short answer: no.

Longer answer: nooooo (just kidding). The problem is the "searchList" is
maintained in a separate member variable; to prevent name collisions elements
in the searchList are *not* assigned as attributes of the template class
itself.

While I personally feel that there is no such thing as "elegant psp style" if
you want the PSP block to look a bit cleaner, you could assign a local veriable
"me" with self.getVar() and then work with it from there, i.e.:

    <%
    me = self.getVar('me')
    tmpsave = False
    if  me.health<0:
        me.health = 10
        tmpsave = True
    if me.bucks<=0:
        me.bucks=100
        tmpsave = True
    if tmpsave:me.save()
    %>


Hope that helps
