The Zope Help system that comes with your Zope installation gives a
contextual help with exactly these methods. Another friend is the Zope Quick
Reference (http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zqr).

As an addition: look at the PTK: it does many of these things for you
already and at least it may be a source of information
(http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK). The only issue is that it's, um, quite
dynamic at the moment if you want to develop code with the PTK as a base.
Some might say a moving target. But if you look for inspiration it will be
fine on all accounts.
