  'brain'?  Certainly not particularly intuitive...

  How would I have gone about finding this info easily on my own, as a newbie?

  The ZPT reference in the Zope book doesn't mention this anywhere...


  Zope is really killer - it's just a serious pain to start because of the
  "magic" involved, and the docs and info can be difficult to locate - 
  regardless of how good a web-searcher one may be.
