[Zope] ExternalMethod - add new parameter

[Thomas Bennett]

If you would elaborate a little, like what you really want to do,  you might 
get responses directing you toward a quicker solution.  That aside, if you 
want to execute a command line application as root from your External Method 
look at Paramiko as mentioned in my response to the previous External Method 
question.  Paramiko is a python library that allows you to use ssh or sftp.
