[Zope] how to get at proprety sheet values from xml-rpc

[Roman Milner]

Hello.  I'm trying to do a demo of scription Zope with perl via
XML-RPC.  I have a Zclass based product I've created.  It has an
object-managerish type that has a propertysheet called tlp.  tlp has a 
field called 'status' that I want to retrieve with xml-rpc.

I can make an XML-RPC connection to the objectmanager object fine and
called it's methods (ie. objectIds()) but I can't figure out how to get
values out of that property sheet.

The best I have been able to come up with is to create a 'get_status'
DTML method in the object manager that just does <dtml-var status> but 
I was hoping to retrieve the value without having to add any thing to
the product - thus proving that any zope site is scriptable via xml-rpc 
without having to have planned it out in advance.  And I'm sure it is
- I just don't know how :)

Thanks for any help.
