Tres,

Thanks a lot. This should do the trick for me.

You can do the subclassing either on the Filesystem, or in a ZClass (in
either case, I would create a new product).  On the filesystem, you
would
override the 'edit' method to set 'review_state' back to 'private' and
then call the orignal method;  something like:

  from Products.PTKDemo import Document

  class MyDocument( Document ):

      def edit( self, title, description, text_format
              , text, file='', REQUEST=None):
          """
              Force us back to 'private'.
          """
          self.setReviewState( 'private', 'Edited' )
          PTKDemo.edit( self, title, description, text_format
                      , text, file, REQUEST )
