Cool! I would LOVE to see a code snippet for this. This is what I tried
in my constructor, but it didn't work:

<!--#with "myZClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"-->
<!--#call "stealth_catalog.manage_catalogObject(REQUEST,[absolute_url()])"-->
<!--#/with-->

This doesn't create the object at all, apparently.

I have some ZCatalogs which work with ZClasses, but I don't see quite
how to automate adding/removing objects from the Catalogs.

Thanks bunches.

I need some coffee like you drink, or something.
