[Zope] Get file contents.

[Jason C. Leach]

hi,

That's exactly what I'm hoping to do.  But for my method, it does not know
what read() is, or read_raw(); I get:

          Zope Error

          Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

          Error Type: AttributeError
          Error Value: read

If I try you method I get:

          Zope Error

          Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

          Error Type: AttributeError
          Error Value: manage_addTinyTable


It would probably bail on the read also if it got that far.

Perhaps I am caling it wrong, or not pasing the correct object.  I jest
pass in a Zope File opject, which hapens to be a few lines of text.

Thanks,
j.
