Chris, that did the trick!  Thanks!

Now, I'm curious how I would find this.  It's always interesting to
see--even when you know the answer--what sort of google search would turn it
up?  Google search or searching zope.org's site?

This search:


http://www.google.com/search?q=instance_home+zope+python+software_home&btnI=
I'm%20feeling%20lucky

gives some hints.

Anything more explicit?  For what it's worth, I would expect to see this in
the API reference, but it's not there (afaics).  Or in the chapter on
advanced scripting:

  http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/AppendixB.stx
  http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/ScriptingZope.stx

(Not that I looked either place.  <grin>  Anyway, blimey!)

Cheers,
