Actually, my script already has the Manager proxy role. I started with
my other (working) script and copied it, which also copied the role
settings.

Another question I had was can I simply call a dtml method as a
function? ie, if I have a dtml method called 'send_some_email', and it
expects to be able to use <dtml-var email_addr>, can I simply call (from
a script):

context.send_some_email(email_addr=3D'someone@yahoo.com')

I can't seem to find docs on calling dtml methods from python scripts.
Lots of stuff about python scripts from dtml methods, though.

Does anyone else find the Zope documentation difficult to find answers
in? The Beazley Python book is organized nicely for answering questions.
It'd be nice to see a similar organization. I seem to spend a lot of
time looking for answers to straightforward questions, like "can I
invoke the MailHost object from a python script? If so, how? How do I
respond to exceptions? What exceptions are thrown, and what are the
parameters that go along with them?"

TIA,
  Colin
