Have a look at the html for the contents tab of a folderish objects where
you can
add your object, and see what method is going to be called. I guess it will
be something
like....

<OPTION value="manage_addProduct/YourProduct/www/methodAdd">Whatever

...for your original version, and...

<OPTION value="manage_addProduct/YourProduct/methodAdd">Whatever

...for the new. This happens because it's using the object's __name__
attribute, which unexpectedly includes a / in the first example. A cleaner
solution to the problem is.....

manage_addPythonMethodForm=HTMLFile('www/methodAdd', globals(),
__name__='methodAdd')

However, I don't think its related to copy/paste problems :-(
