[Zope] Creating and displaying lists

[larrymcdonnell at att.net]

Hi Jonathon,

I will adjust my code. I have written some Python code but very simple tasks and would like to do more. I don't program that often. I work for a school system in Connecticut. So if you have an example of what your are talking about I am willing to try it. 

Thanks again,

Larry
