The %s will be replaced by the filename. This so Notpad knows what file to 
edit.

You will have to double the bacvslahes for this to work, because in Python 
(as in many programming languages), the backslash has special meaning:

  'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\notepad.exe %s'
 
or, you could place an 'r' in front of the string (r stands for raw):

  r'C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe %s'

ZopeEDIT will open Notepad for you. When done, you save and close notepad. ZopeEDIT will ask you wether or not you want to save the file to Zope. Click 'Yes', and your changes are now on your Zope server.
