What do you tie the 'lines' property to? The product? Or to another property
in a propertysheet within the ZClass?
The dtml-return hack doesn't work for the ZClass_addForm method (the object
isn't instanciated yet).
The next attempt is to try and use properties of the Product. Hopefully the
namespace of the Product is available at _addForm time.
Understanding the Zope Zen takes a bit of patience :)
