[Zope] all_meta_types confusion

[Garth B.]

Hello Dieter,

This is my all_meta_types function:

def all_meta_types(self):
    return (
        {
            'name' : 'Web Page',
            'action': 'manage_addProduct/DWT/WebPage_add',
            'permission': 'Add Web Page',
        },
    )

I haven't followed Maciej's suggestion yet to use pdb to more closely trace
what's going on, but if you have suggestions on what *might* be going on to
help me in my debugging, that would be great.

Thank you,
Garth
