[Zope] Storing and Using Object references

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the feedback.  Yes I see that I can call the methods using
the url (which will give me the object) but I thought that was only in
dtml.  I need to access the object in my python code.  that's the
struggle I'm having.  or did I miss something in your response?
