What's a Portal Folder?
What's class is the folder called "Members"? 

I want to be able to create a folder hierarchy structure and then create
portal content in these folders, rather than strictly using the
Members/Username folders. 

However, creating a standard Folder under the Portal root isn't usable. And
creating a "Portal Folder" under the Portal root does not seem to allow
portal content to be created under it. (In my new Portal Folder, portal
content created using /portal_contents creates the content in the portal
root directory, not in the selected portal folder.) 

Work Around: I copied the Member folder and renamed it to a new name. I set
the browser to /portal_contents. And voila, I was able to create portal
content in my new folder. 

It this a design, bug, or am I missing something.

Using Zope latest stable (2.1.6) , and PTK latest stable (0.7.1)
