[Zope-dev] zshell used without jaxml

[vio]

Is the "programmatical" use of zshell documented somewhere? I see that it has
provisions to get commands either from the web (from 'REQUEST') or from
'parameters'. But I can't figure out how to send it my parameters. I'm guessing
the key is through 'zshellscript'. But I can't seem to get the syntax right.
Could someone care to give me an example. Or correct mine:

-------

from zshell import ZopeShell
# import jaxml  
############## I am specifically not importing jaxml, 
############## because I don't want the UI part
############## ... that's the whole point.

def  myStuff(self, id, title, REQUEST=None):

    my_zshellscript = ['mkdir myFolderName', 'cd myFolderName', 'pwd']   
	# my problem in previous line, 
	# although that's exactly how it looks in 'REQUEST'

    myShell = ZopeShell(my_zshellscript)

	# get some feedback
    return Globals.MessageDialog(
              message=(myShell),
              action='manage_main',
              )   <-- this should return 'myFolderName'

-------


A less important zshell-related question: where is 'context' documented? (Where
does it come from? What is it used for? The ID of the working folder? (as in
'zshellpwd'). What's the difference between it and ''__context' ?)
