The question is ... how do I do it? I'd like to make the default textarea field quite a bit bigger -- but I wasn't able to explore my way to success in the interface, and about 20 mins of seaching has yielded no answers.

You could edit lib/python/OFS/properties.dtml, which renders the property management screen. The DTML in there has gotten pretty scary over time though :^)

Yikes! But thanks ... I think I can hack it into submission. And here's a followup question: If I want to make a custom Properties view for a specific ZClass, how do I proceed? Just create an additional method for the class and add it under Views? And if I do this, is there any kind of DTML templete (sort of like the default add and addForm methods) that I can work from? And do I need to go this far if I (for example) simply want to change the display order for existing properties? Many thanks (as always) for any answers you have...
