Where do you run "start" from?  That directory will be where Zope was
installed to (hint:  type "pwd" (without quotes) to see where the current
directory is (print working directory))

The installation of *most* products don't require an import.  By installing
the product in the "/lib/python/Products/" directory and re-starting Zope
will give you access to the product.

For example:
------------------------------------
Directory Zope is installed:
  /usr/local/Zope-2.3.1

Products would be installed in:
  /usr/local/Zope-2.3.1/lib/python/Products


WorldPilot gzip/tarball location:
  /home/andrew/WorldPilot-1.0.tar.gz

WorldPilot would be installed by:
cd /usr/local/Zope-2.3.1
tar -zxvf /home/andrew/WorldPilot*
----------------------------------------


Hope this helps,

Andrew
