Thanks! What I actually wanted was sidebar(PARENTS[0], REQUEST), but you
pointed me in the direction I needed. Now I have to understand it, but
that's much easier with working code.
This also led me to find a bug. I was wondering why the REQUEST parameter
was needed, so I tried to remove it. The next time I loaded a page
calling this code, the ZServer process died with the Win32 equivalent of a
segfault. Is it just me? I don't dare try it on another Zope server =).
