The REQUEST is always available as part of the "current" object - usually 
referenced as 'context' in PythonScripts, 'context' or 'here' in ZPTs
or when using 'self' within the implemetation of a Zope class. There is
nothing specific about CMF here.

If the method expects a REQUEST object (for whatever reason)
you have to pass it in. A method of a persistent object could also
take the REQUEST from 'self'....
