[Zope] import error

[David Bear]

thanks for the info. I went and actually read the help text on the
import/export screen where it states:

==========

You may import Zope objects which have been previously exported to a file,
by placing the file in the "import" directory of your Zope installation on
the server. You should create the "import" directory in the root of your
Zope installation if it does not yet exist.

Note that by default, you will become the owner of the objects that you are
importing. If you wish the imported objects to retain their existing
ownership information, select "retain existing ownership information".
===========

does this mean I create a directory named 'import' at the instance home?
(what is the 'root' of my zope installation?)
