  Thanks, I will try the external method.

  However, what I was really hoping for was an explanation of the
  Product creation part -- if I can create and get this very simple
  Product to work, I can begin to understand this facet of Zope and make 
  more complex Products.

  OK, forget the email attachment detail of my question. I am confused
  here:  I have tried to create the product both from the ZMI (which
  does not allow the creation of __init__.py's) and via command  line 
  (in ~/Products, in lib/Python, everywhere that the sparse and
  conflicting  information I have been able to gather tells me). Doing
  the latter I can certainly create the __init__.py but the Product
  doesn't register with zope. 

  Thanks.

    For a single task like you have described it may be easier to create a
    simple external method.
