thanks for that

I noticed an even dumber thing: it should've read manage_changeProperties

I have yet another stupid question and realise that I need to go through
some more examples, I have been on zope.org for a while and lots of things
nearly answer my questions but I am not bright enough to fill in the gaps!
Zope really makes me feel dumb!

So one last question for the night.

I have a folder with an property called "firstchildren" (int) that I am
using as a variable
The folder is called "addaline", inside that folder is another folder called
"lines".
I want to have a method in "lines" that updates the value of
"firstchildren".

I have tried:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('firstchildren', firstchildren+1)">

and since then tried using Parent  and manage_editProperties...
I just can't get it right!

Is there a good example that I could look at, I am not even quite sure what
to search for on zope.org

thanks so much, apologies if this is annoying, I'll calm down soon I am
sure!
