[Zope-CMF] Wrong meta type for new type

Yes I was very confused, and I guess so was my email.
As soon as I sent that email, I realized what the
problem was. 

I followed the Zwack Chapter 5 example to create a new
CMF type, but then I couldn't figure out why my
objects were being catalogued as "Document" types
instead of my new type. Well, after scratching my head
for a bit I realized that this new type was based on
the "Document" type, and therefore they were being
catalogued as "documents". Wow, I finally "understand"
a whole section of zope and the CMF!

After a bit of trial and error, I created a new
file-based product based on the "CMFBoringProduct"
that I found on the zope website. Now I just need to
add the extra bits that I need to my new unboring CMF
product.

Thanks! Rita.
