I'm with you... but I'm a little lost on #2.  Your howto shows how you could
add more arguments to a constructor, but I'm not seeing how you can call
something like the addForm of a product from the pythonscript...

in your howto (Using 'Scriptable Type Information'), in the python script
there's something like:

product.addNewsItem( id )

is that where you'd call a form?

product.manage_addFileForm

 or some such?
