2.4.2, actually. You're right, I should have mentioned that
*much* earlier.

Hmm.. maybe. But I don't want non-managers to be able to add just
any folder there, I only want them to be able to add a folder
that was created by this particular script. (ie, one that has
the right name, and has had its permissions properly set up)

What I really should do is create a Product, but this seemed so
simple to start off that I figured I would just hack it in this
way.... Live & learn....

It wasn't. I mentioned on the other thread that I found that my
user had never had the "Owner" role set at all (been using Zope
for 2 years now, so it must not be very important?) Once I set
that, I was able to proxy as Owner, but the script still did
not work right.

I believe it is either a bug, or else the way things are supposed
to work with manage_clone.

That is the one!

Gets me where I was going.

Thank you so much for your help today.
