[Zope] I think I'm close, but still no luck

      Hello,

(See bottom of this message for all the iterations I have tried)

I've created a product called BasicDocument. I've installed it and it
works great. 

I've also created a folderish product (called SimpleSite). When a user
selects
the SimpleSite product from the available objects list, thus creating an
instance of that product, 
they have an option to create sub folders which contain objects like
dtml documents, dtml
methods, and my BasicDocument product (very similar to what happens when
you instantiate a folder object, you
can have a dtml method created in the new folder). 

I am able to have the manage_addSimpleSite function create
DTMLDocument, DTMLMethod and Folder objects but I am unable to
have the function create BasicDocuments (which live in the Products
directory) additionally, I am unable to it create any Products from
the Products directory, such as Local File System????? 

 The code below works great, I get a dtml document, two folders each
with a dtml method in them.... 

 HOW CAN I CREATE A BascicDocument, LOCAL FILE SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER
OBJECT FROM THE 
 PRODUCTS DIRECTORY IN THIS MANAGE_ADD FUNCTION??????? 

Thanks, 

Dan
