But is there a way to do it?  I want to do the exact same thing, and
asked about it (as my first question to this list).  Although I received
a few responses with suggestions, none of them worked out.

p.s., as a side note to the Zope developers, the more I look at this
thing, the cooler it gets....  Thanks for what so far looks like an
incredible product.
