[Zope] Writing to LocalFS

(thanks to Jonathon and Dieter... for the permissions problem. That did the trick) Again, after some searching, I am looking for the syntax to write a file / append to a file in a Local File System. This is certainly where my Python days seem to slow my down b/c I would have just: contents = open('/path/file.txt', "r") to read and contents = open('/path/file.txt', "a") to append. I am sure that I am missing some bit of Zope Zen here... Please point me in the right direction... J
