From a Zope newbie... Given: "root" folder index_html method which refers to menu_bar and body_content

^^^^ are you sure that index_html is a DTML method and not a DTML document? This should work (and it does, because I do this), but only if index_html is a method, because when it is acquired by the "about" folder it takes on the context of the folder. If index_html was a document, it has its own context when acquired and will pick up its methods from the origal location (as you seem to be experiencing).

menu_bar method body_content method "about" folder body_content method

Trying to browse root/about folder directly and expecting 1. inherited index_html method to be displayed and it does 2. which refers to menu_bar method and it is displayed but... I expected body_content method in "about" folder but instead it displayed body_content in root folder? I copied index_html method into the about folder then it worked ok. I considered factoring out the body_content from root and placing in a lower lever "home" folder, but how do you handle browsing the root folder which no longer contains the body_content to default to the home folder body_content if not being called from lower level folder (such as abot or home)? Thanks.
