No, I haven't looked at ZPT. I thought I would try to get the hang of DTML 
first, just so that I can make some progress with ZOPE.

I'm finding it a steep learning curve.

I have not installed Plone yet, and don't know much about it or CMF.

Do they both need to installed or can I install them independently?

I'm getting a little bit saturated with all these new gadgets and find 
myself being unable to see how everything fits together.
