[Zope] Creating and displaying lists

[Jonathan]

There is a chapter in the Zope Book called 'Advanced Zope Scripting' which 
gives some good examples.  You can also find useful python scripts at 
www.zopelabs.com

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
