I'm not sure I completely understand the terminology you use, but I guess it
sounds right that the edit form method is called 'on' (in my terminology
;-) ) the Zclass instance.  It is in that way that the <dtml-var
id/title/get_size/etc> retrieve the attributes of the instance and not the
method itself... is that correct? Is that what you mean?

Each Zclass instance has <dtml-call privacy><dtml-if "available* ==
1"><dtml-call RESPONSE.redirect(restricted)><dtml-else>blah</dtml-if> . (*
set by the privacy method).  Thanks for your help with that btw :-).
However, the edit form method does not have this code in it.  As far as I
can gather, the only time the method gets to 'see' the code shown above is
when it inserts <dtml-var document_src>.

What am I missing?
