"manage_addFile" expects a Python file object (or a string) as
value for its "file" argument.

"HTMLFile" is not a Python file object. The "File" in its name
does not refer to "file likeness" but to the template source being
a file.

If you are in an External Method, you can use:

   handle.manage_addFile('Style Sheet', # ATT: you should not have whitespace in ids!
			 open(path_to_your_file),
			 'Title of File',
			 )
