The online help does have some shortcomings. I don't know how the API docs are generated, but they should either include inherited methods and fields or have more comprehensive links to objects they inherit from. For example, where is SimpleItem? It has a whole ton of useful and common stuff that people should know about. The API documentation is extremely minimal. You will be lost if this is your only resource...
"SimpleItem" is covered as "ObjectManagerItem". Or more precisely: about 10 % of it. You can use my "DocFinder" product URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope to look at what is really there. The disadvantage: it also documents methods that are there for backward compatibility ony and should no longer be used. An alternative would be "pydoc". You find necessary patches at the above Web site to use it with Zope 2.4. Dieter
