[Zope] Newbie question: Properties

[Russell Hires]

Hello all,

I've been reading the zope docs, and done a tutorial or two, but I still
don't know what exactly a property is. I'm used the concept of a propery
like this: if I have a rock, the rock's properties are weight, color, size,
density, etc...

I've added properties, but that doesn't exactly explain what they are...

Thanks for any explanation.

Russell
