Right now you can't. And you don't need to. The "name" of the root folder is simply the SCRIPT_NAME your webserver uses to access Zope. By default in ZServer and ZopeHTTPServer this is an empty string, since they both normally server one published module, though they both can server multiple published modules. So, you can give your root folder a title, but you can't use Zope to change how your web server calls Zope. Do this with your webserver. In the case of ZServer, check out the zope_handler.py, it has options to set the SCRIPT_NAME. ZopeHTTPServer also has options to set the SCRIPT_NAME with command line arguments.
So maybe I don't need to "name" this root folder.
Right.
If so, then the Zope manager's guide needs to be clearer.
Perhaps the docs should be updated. The manager's guide probably assumes that you're using PCGI, but it shouldn't make this assumption. Hope this helps. -Amos
