This was needed to find xmlrpclib, since I then had to patch and include
xmlrpclib with global.py, it is no longer needed, you can just whack it
and put the included (patched) xmlrpclib in the same dir as global.py
(usual ~/.cedit/)

oops.  but ... uhm... it's not in my file.  wierd.  Jus take out the
extra underscore.

Uhh... are you using Python 1.5.2?  It's a mystery to me otherwise....

Before any of this stuff work, you have to run 'Comand' 'Reload Python
Scripts'.  I don't know why, I assume it's a bug.  Note that all the key
binding and menus are completely arbirary, I hope to colaborate a bit
with the author of cooledit to make things more zopeishly cool.

This is probably because your xmlrpclib is acting strangely.
