---------------

      Zope has an online help system that you can use to provide help
      for your products. Its main features are context-sensitive help
      and API help. You should provide both for your product.

         obviously there were 3 forward refs to the ominous API Reference (or is it API help? glossary drift?).
         Better give this info at the start of this chapter. 
         Additionally, give the python files of zope where the resp. functionality is defined (after all, this is Open
         Source). Many insights will be gained inspecting the source. Part of the zope experience is to learn where to
         look for help. part of the mailing list traffic would become obsolete if people knew howto search the
         archives.
