---------------
Property Sheets have two uses. As you've seen with this example,
they are a tool for organizing related sets of properties about your
objects, second to that, they are used to generate HTML forms and
actions to edit those set of properties. The HTML edit forms are
generated automatically for you, you only need to associate a view
with a Property Sheet to see the sheet's edit form. For example,
return to the ZooExhibit ZClass and click on the *Views* tab and
create a new view with the name *Edit* and associate it with the
method *propertysheets/ExhibitProperties/manage_edit*.

Using Zope 2.5.1, I seem to only have "propertysheets/ExhibitProperties/manage" (which seems to do the same
as "manage_edit")

Before returning to the ZooExhibit ZClass (last sentence), I assume you should "Save changes". WARNING: Your
browser may have cached the ZClass Views page, and "propertysheets/ExhibitProperties/manage" will not appear
in the Methods list.

I confirm, 6 months later with Zope 2.6, there is still no manage_edit.. but a
propertysheets/ExhibitProperties/manage

The documentation could use information on how to use the other "Types" of properties, such as selection,
multiple selection, etc.
