Very nice!

These changes are only available in the latest CVS release, however. How 
will a new developer be able to detect this from the documentation?

Some errors:

--
RECORD

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="person.name:record" SIZE="30">

The input tag for the name field is named person.name:record:ignore_empty. The
:record part of the name indicates to Zope that the field should be 
converted to a record before passing it to the published method. A record 
variable will be created called person and it will have an attribute called 
name.

- Either: The first line should read: .. is named person.name:record. The ..
- Or: the NAME field of the INPUT tag should read: 
person.name:record:ignore_empty

RECORDS

The records method is implemented:

       <P><H2>Member #1<H2></P><br>
       <P>lease enter your name:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.name:records:ignore_empty" 
SIZE="30"><BR>
       your email:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.email:records:ignore_empty" 
SIZE="30"><BR>
       your age:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="myname.age:int:records:default" Value="0"<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.age:int:records:ignore_empty"></P><BR>
       <P><H2>Member #2</H2></P><BR>
       <P>Please enter your name:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.name:records:ignore_empty" 
SIZE="30"><BR>
       your email:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.email:records:ignore_empty" 
SIZE="30"><BR>
       your age:<BR>
       <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="member.age:int:records:ignore_empty<a 
href="records"">></P>

In this sample the form asks for a name and age for two different members 
of a club. The part appears in each input tag. This type will create a list 
called members that will hold records (in this case it will hold two 
records). Each record can have the attributes name and age.

- The hidden field should read: .. NAME="member.age:int:records:default" ..
- A newline before the line 'Member #2' would increase readability.
