Thanks for your response. If I understand this correctly then NO DCWorkflow based custom workflow
will work (at least with regard to appropriate permissions) unless one hacks up some other CMF code,
right?   It does seem to associate the object with my custom workflow because the script that emails
(which is all I added) is getting called.

Am I correct in understanding then that the default workflow that comes with CMF1.1 wrongly gives
"pending" items anonymous view permissions?  Isn't this in itself a fairly serious bug that would have
already been addressed, that is separate from the one you entered into the tracker regarding custom
workflows?

Thanks,
Lynn
