hmm. I'm not sure what you exactly mean by the term 'file'. I think you m=
ean=20
an object in the zope database (ZODB).=20

to  create an object in the ZODB try this:

- --------- snip ---------
# create a new file object
container.manage_addProduct["OFSP"].manage_addDTMLMethod("myDtml",title=3D=
"myTitle")

# push some data into it
container.myDtml.manage_edit("hello, world", container.myDtml.title)

# print the data
print container.myDtml()

return printed
- --------- snap ---------

note that you created an object called DTML method. You may need other ki=
nds=20
of objects, depending on your task...=20

Access to the 'real' filesystem is from zope limted for security reasons.=
 if=20
you _really_ need access to the filesystem you have to create an 'externa=
l=20
method'.

  AND

- --=20
I doubt, therefore I might be.
