[Zope-dev] How can you store a Zope XML on a local drive?

Hello, how can I store the contents of a Zope XML documents' edit window externally. I tried exporting the xml doc object but the file that is created has loads of additional Zopeish XML tags. Can I reference the editForm widows' contents of an object directly? eg . if an objetcs Edit form window contained the following. <mytag>data</mytag> how can the above contents of the form be sent to a local file,say on the c: drive? I would apprecitate any ideas, Garrett Crowley.
