[Zope] Folderish Properties

[Tim Cook]

I have a folderish ZClass with a set of properties. When I create
an instance via DTML my code doesn't update the properties from
REQUEST.

I use exactly (names changed of course) the same code to
instantiate a document like ZClass and it works fine.  So what's
the difference between Folderish ZClasses & Document ZClasses in
assigning to their properties? (The instance IS created, just the
properties aren't assigned values.)

I used the howto on adding instances via DTML change to the
'_add' methods in both ZClasses.

Here's the code FWIW:
