Sorry about the vagueness. This was something I did as an experiment. I did
it with a Document, but I think you can figure it out with a little
bit of poking around. Here is a basic example of what I did with an object
that was derived from a document yet overrides the management screens.

#--Begin Sample-----

class MyObject(Document.Document):
  "Doc String"
  
   manage_editForm=HTMLFile('mydocumentEdit', globals())
   manage = manage_main = manage_editDocument = manage_editForm
   ...other class code...

#-------------------

What I have done is overridden the default manage functions with a DTML
method that displays my very own edit page. Which happens to replace the
<textarea> widget with a Java applet. It all works except I was having
problems getting the applet to post info back to Zope and I haven't had
time to sit down and fix it yet.

Let me know if you would like to see the rest of the code.
