Gotcha.

Okay, what controls which is preferentially matched first?  Taking,
again, CMFTopic as the sample, there's a topic_view.pt and a
topic_view.dtml.  Are ZPT's always preferentially matched over same-name
DTMLs?

This doesn't seem to be the case as stuff in the custom folder overrides
both.

Suggestion on which docs/HWTOs etc to start with on ZPT?
