L-VL-OL!
Hear!  Hear! :D
I guess this is one of the magical steps toward ZopeZen.  ;)
You have to experience and struggle through it in order to learn it.  There
is no way to get this out of any documentation.

RANT!
This is an example of Zope quirkiness that makes it unfriendly to new users.
But the Zope steering group do not seem interested making usability and
consistency improvements.  That would be boring and too commercial.  This is
not important enough technically.
Hopefully the new open group will consider this to make Zope more accessible
in the future.
