Basic ZCatalog info can be found in the "Searching and Categorizing Content" 
chapter of the Zope Book (http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition)

Automatic object cataloging was accomplished by creating 'ZCatalog aware' 
object instances - i can't remember if this is a feature of ZClasses only 
(stay away from ZClasses) or if you can create your own product that 
subclasses the 'awareness' features (google is your friend).

You can manually add/remove items using the methods "catalog_object" and 
"uncatalog_object" (Zope Book and google for more info).
