Ok, found the start Icon and clicked it. Got a Dos box. It seemed to do nothing. Then I clicked the link I was given below. I got messages that said a new Zope disk had been detected. It seemed that I was talking to a Zope program somewhere and it was trying to assign me a spot. I think the word socket came up a few times. Each time there was a consecutive number, 8020, 8021,8022 ect.
That's a good sign. When you see these messages, you know that a Zope server is running locally on your machine, on port 8080 by default. Keep the DOS box running. Now access the server using a web browser. To reach it, start a browser on the same machine and go to the URL http://localhost:8080 This will bring up a Zope home page from your local server. Get to this point and you have accessed your own Zope server, as a user. Also, once you have the Zope see the online "The Zope Book" at the Zope.org website which will tell you how to go further.

I was expecting a screen from a web page like I had seen on a tutorial. Unfortunately I cannot find that tutorial now. Is this something I operate from a dos box? Or should I get a web page when I click the link below?
Thanx

if you're installing zope in 98, and didnt change anything, then zope will be installed in c:\program files\WebSite
go to that folder, double click start.bat then access zope from http://localhost:8080/manage to get started
