Thanks Dieter,

I did some reading and I understand now that aq_base returns just the
object, with no acquisition. But I'm a little confused about aq_explicit :-)

Could anyone give an example where aq_explicit might not do what I want in
this context (I'm checking to see if a folder already has an 'index.htm'
document before adding it)?
