[Zope] Setting a Cookie

[Bruce Eckel]

The first parameter is "self", which is implicit during the
call (you could say it's explicit because it's a method
call). So if it looks like you're passing three arguments
to a method call, it's actually getting four.

Not a cookie expert, but I found an earlier message about
cookies this week with the example:
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('voted_in_poll', '1')"> 

FWIW
