I'm talking about instances of ZClasses -- not the ZClasses objects themselves. Here's a cut/paste traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 209, in publish_module File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 179, in publish File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 199, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ApplicationDefaultPermissions) File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 165, in publish File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 154, in mapply (Object: manage_pasteObjects) File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_pasteObjects) File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py, line 199, in manage_pasteObjects (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File C:\zope\intra\lib\python\OFS\CopySupport.py, line 381, in _verifyObjectPaste (Object: ElementWithAttributes) Copy Error: (see above) -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "His latest [comic-book hero] was the very exemplar of political correctitude, being a small black boy, who, in the company of his lovable pet pooch, righted social wrongs and put bad boys to flight. Exactly why 'The Adventures of Johnny Foreigner and Dildo the Dog' had so far failed to impress prospective publishers was quite beyond him." --Robert Rankin, _Apocalypso_

What kind of magic trick is required to copy and paste Z Class instances around in Zope 2.0.0b3?
I have some instances (imported from Zope 1.x, if that's relevant) that steadfastly refuse to budge, giving the following error message instead, on paste or import, or even sometimes delete:
The object [object ID] does not support this operation
You're not talking about the ZClass objects themselves, are you? The actual ZClass objects can't be copied/moved (for a number of reasons that get pretty hairy).
You *should* be able to copy/move *instances* of your ZClasses though - if not, can you send a copy of the actual traceback you are getting so we can look into it further?
