[Zope] Boolean properties ( Zope 2.5)

[Chris Beaven]

In Python, 'and' and 'or' perform boolean logic as you would expect, but
they do not return boolean values; they return one of the actual values they
are comparing. 

>>> 'a' and 'b'
'b'
>>> '' and 'b'
''

>>> 'a' or 'b'
'a'
>>> '' or 'b'
'b'

I a trying to figure out what values are stored in Boolean typed
properties of a Zope object in order to display information in and
retrieve and set information from form checkboxes.

What values are actually set/returned in boolean properties?
