[Zope] Adding an object programmatically

<body>I've been using Zope for about a week now - its very cool! I am probably just confused, so could someone put me out of my misery  and tell me how to add a DTML method to a ZClass in its add method.  The ZClass is a subclass of Object manager.  This seems like it should be possible from DTML...  First of all I tried to subclass both DTML Method and object manager, but they seem to interfere with each others manage_main methods... so I now have a child which is a DTML method. I just need to add it when the Zclass instance is added. I tried things like this: &lt;dtml-call "_.addDTMLMethod('content')" &gt; with not much luck. PS. I had a look at python methods, which seem a lot easier to use if you know python. However, I didn't seem to be able to assign to *any* lists or dictionaries. Is this to preserve persistance or something else? eg to do list[4] = 'help!
' I do list = list[:4] + ['help'] + list[5:] is this right? Thanks Rob   </body>
