| Hmm. Looking in that I find these two files that *might* be appropriate:
| 
| PageTemplates.py
| ZopePageTemplates.py
| 
| The latter is a wrapper for the former. The former defines the following class:
| 
| class PageTemplate(Base):
| 
| If this is the class I want to use, why only one argument? My example above
| cites exactly two arguments. And it is not a "base" I need to pass, is it?
| 
| The latter defines the following class:
| 
| class ZopePageTemplate(Script, PageTemplate, Historical, Cacheable,
|                        Traversable, PropertyManager):
|  
| Why so many arguments? It doesn't look like those are any of the arguments I
| need to pass. None of the other files in that folder appeared to make sense,
| either.

These are not arguments, they are baseclasses.
