I haven't actually started using Zope much yet, so I may have missed something -- but can you have a file object named MyDocs.pdf (as in this example)? What happens to the "." when this URL is translated into an object?

Yes, you can create file objects like "MyDocs.pdf" - or MyDocs.pdf.zip.foo.bar.blah if you want ;^) The "."s have no effect on URL traversal to the object. The URL equivalent of a python-like expression such as: root.container1.container2.object is: /root/container1/conainer2/object For the purposes of URLS, the equivalent of the python "." operators are the "/"s in the url. The "." characters in the ids of objects in the URL are not meaningful during the traversal process. Hope this helps!
