Zope does not die.. but the broswer never rueturns anyhting, like it is
looking for a page forever..
I can continue working with Zope.
I can close the window which had the zshell html annd bring it up again.
somethign is not 'reaching' the browser.

RUN is broken. The browser indicats it is trying to redraw but it never
succeeds.
This is true for NS 4.5 and IE 5.5 on Win98se

> What command did you try ? As which user were you running zshell ?

None of the commands work.
Running as user with full manager role.
Is ther some other permsission needs to be set for the zhsell method?

Thanks will try again.
Meanwhile have been reading throght the previous code better to understand.
What may be wrong.
I suspect 2 things:

1. jaxml
Fierst I tested from outside zope:

[jasonic@colocate05 jasonic]$ python
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb  1 2000, 16:32:16)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux
(egcs- on linux-i386
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import jaxml
>>> jaxml.__version__
'2.22'
>>> x = jaxml.XML_document()
>>> x.sometag(what="testing")
>>> x.anestedtag(name="nested")
>>> x._text("Waiting for Godot")
>>> x
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<sometag what="testing">
    <anestedtag name="nested">
        Waiting for Godot
    </anestedtag>
</sometag>

I then wrote a simple testjaxml.py External Method:

#testjaxml.py
import jaxml
def testjaxml.py(self):
    versionstring = jaxml.__version__
    return versionstring

calling this from Zope returns:
jaxml version2.22

ok so far so good
Then I extended testjaxml.py to include the same trivial jaxml tag test
above:

#testjaxml.py
import jaxml
import string

def testjaxml(self):
 versionstring =  "jaxml version" + jaxml.__version__
 x =jaxml.XML_document()
  x.sometag(what="testing")
 x.anestedtag(name="nested")
 x._text("Waiting for Godot")
 return x

This time it breaks:

Error Type: SyntaxError
Error Value: invalid syntax

SyntaxError: (see above)

Either I am doign somthing nicreduibly basic and dumb or jaxml2.22 is not
very Zope freindly yet on this system. Not thta in the above Zoperror
message the path changes from /web/Zope/.. to /web/Zope-2.3.1-src/.. This is
becuae when I installed Zope I renamed the folder. Everythign else appears
to work ok, but sometimes I get errors like that still. Maybe I shoudl so a
nother fresh install

Jerome, please can you post a simple working standa-alone jaxml External
Method test file.

2. redirect problems
I am using Zope 2.3.2 on Redhat6.2 behind Apache Proxy/ProxyReverse
directives and SiteAcces/SiteRoot
Pehaps these are compounding the above problems.

I tried unsuccesffully to do a simple zshell install here on Windows last
night. I want to test without Apache in the picture, aso because I like to
wiorj with same Zope sintallation local and remote. Will try again today. I
had probems getting the right version of jaxml to be seeen by zope. This is
becuase I have multiple Zopes & Pythons on my Win98se laptop, and still
don't understand how to use distutils to get a  package correctly installed
inside of given version of Zope.

In other words I have previuously been using upgraded versions of jaxml from
IDLE and Pythonwin shells fine.  How the hell to do I install jaxml2.22 in
zope so its own Python will use that version? I put the jaxml folder in
various places lib/python and lib/python/Products. I added an __init__.py.

thasks for all your work. wil try now with new zshell-0.6b1, but jaxml
connection problems still need to be resolved.
