[Zope-CMF] Does a File object know who created it?

Yeah, that did the trick. Thank you!

I seem to get stuck with simple questions like this because the CMF object
hierarchy is so daunting: every time I go to look at an object in the source
code, it is hard to know what properties and methods are available to a
given object because there is so much that's getting inherited from
different places. The API documentation on the web site doesn't help much
with this issue: it documents each class's properties and methods but
doesn't present what's getting inherited into each content type.

Is there someplace else to look for such documentation?

Many thanks!
