Thanks Martjin!  I was digging through the ZPT manual, and was coming  
up with a blank explicit example.  Also, is there a recommended  
template as of now?  I like Genshi, as I have used it before, but I  
also want to learn the true Zope way, as I am interesting in combing  
Plone 3 and Grok ways of doing things, if that is possible.

I wouldn't mind paying back all the great help with a simple ajax  
tutorial in the next couple of weeks.  At my current rate, I should  
have something done reasonably quick.
