Both answers are much appreciated. Things start to clear up, but ...
As far as I understand zope it should also be possible to have forms send
data directly to external methods. How do I go abouth to make the argument
list in a python function so that it receives more than one 'form variable'.
1 is simple, but my form consists of 5. I get an error constructing the
python function to take 5 arguments. How is the 5 'variables' sent to the 
method? How do I get hold of the values each store?

Lotsa questions - probly me doing things the wrong way but - I'm learning:)
