You write an External Method (in order to be able to read
the file in the file system. An (more difficult) alternative would be to upload
the file into Zope and work with a Python script).

The External Method reads the file (line by line), parses it and
calls the RegistrationTools join method, i.e. it emulates the
registration form and calls the registration action.

Details for your homework...
