Hm. what has "Import something from Import dir" to do with
"send requests from forms" ?

The import dir you are refering to is only a temporary storage
outside the ZODB to allow import of security critical objects
in any place in the object tree. This is only meant to be so for
the management-interface.

Handling of forms is up to the zope supported mechanism of
all the zope objects. Best is done with Python Script objects,
making the math and returning values in the request object for
the template they call.

To gasp the whole zope thingy at once might be hard sometimes,
but then... lerning to fly is also not esay, but flying itself
is great :-)
