    Also notice that the action of the form is the *add* script.  Now
    paste the following body into the *add* script::

      ## Script (Python) "add"
      ##parameters=id ,title, REQUEST=None
      ##
      """
      Copy the exhibit template to the calling folder
      """

      # Clone the template, giving it the new ID. This will be placed
      # in the current context (the place the factory was called from).
      exhibit=context.manage_clone(container.exhibitTemplate,id)

      # Change the clone's title
      exhibit.manage_changeProperties(title=title)

      # If we were called through the web, redirect back to the context
      if REQUEST is not None:
          try: u=context.DestinationURL()
          except: u=REQUEST['URL1']
          REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(u+'/manage_main?update_menu=1')

       The instructions are to 'Paste' in the code. If you paste in with the first three '##' lines, you get an
       error. Remove those lines and set the parameters in the 'Parameters' form field and all works fine.

       With Zope version 2.6.2 works 'Paste' fine. (no need to remove lines)
