Good question.  I would like to know that also.  At the moment, I'm
having a hard time understanding how to deal with zope objects from
python code.  I'd use zope objects alot more if I did understand this.

Reading a textfile that is a zope object sounds like a good start.
Anyone know how to do that?

For me, that's the hardest thing about dealing with zope.  For a while,
it seems like you are doing the impossible very easily, then something
very easy comes along, and it seems impossible.
