      Michel,

That should have been obvious to me.  Sorry. ;)

It works fine now.  But I am having trouble with my old import scripts
which worked wonderous with Zope 1.10.  Is
self.manage_addProduct['meta_type'].add, still a valid way to call a
DTML constructor?  It reads the file fine but just fails to add them. 

This is the external method that isn't working:

import string

def import_company(self,file,REQUEST,RESPONSE,URL2):
    """
    External Method to import Company data and build Company objects.

    file is a tab delimited file object (obtained from a file upload form).

    The file schema is:

    ID,COMPANY,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,ADDRESS,CITY,STATE,ZIP,AREA_CODE,
    FAX_AREA_CODE,PHONE,FAX_PHONE,EXT,FAX_EXT,TITLE,USER1,USER2,USER3
    USER4,USER5,USER6,E-MAIL

    """
    added=[]
    failed=[]
    contact_id=10000
    while 1:
        line=file.readline()
        if line=="":
            break
        fields=string.split(line,'\t')
        id=fields[0]
