---------------

    *Access Rules* make it possible to cause an action to happen any
    time a user "traverses" a Folder in your Zope site.  When a user's
    browser submits a request for a URL to Zope which has a Folder's
    name in it, the Folder is "looked up" by Zope during object
    publishing.  That action (the lookup) is called *traversal*.
    Access Rules are arbitrary bits of code which effect the
    environment in some way during Folder traversal.  They are easiest
    to explain by way of an example.

       The Access Service section needs an explanation of how to suppress an access rule. For the baffled among us,
       you can set an environmental
       variable 'SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE' ( I add a line in my 'start' script to
       do this ) or include '_SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE' to the URL at a point AFTER
       the folder/container in question.

       SITEROOT works the same way, just replace ACCESSRULE with SITEROOT in
       the above explanation.
