[Zope] Executing an external program

[Chris McDonough]

Brad, look into external methods.  There is a howto on the zope.org
website at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To/ExternalMethods

You'll need to know some Python, probably most importantly read about
the os module's "popen" method at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/os-newstreams.html
