Actually, this points to the myGuestBook instance, which returns the memory
position of the instance, because the GuestBook class does not implement an
'index_html' method. The full URL to start the GuestBook would be:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/GuestBook.zcgi/myGuestBook/guestbookForm

My mistake and your reply were great to clarify the issue. The insight
about publishing *instances* is precious!!!
