[Zope] FYI: Portal Toolkit Slides and Demo available

[Paul Everitt]

Ty, you do realize that this is already there, don't you?  Medusa has a
"monitor" program that Amos hadn't integrated until sometime in the last
week or two.  There's a monitor client that gives you a Python prompt
inside Zope.

Hmm, I thought nearly everybody knew that Medusa did that and that we
added it.  Does this functionality help?
