That sounds great.  I've never used ExternalEditor.  What version is
currently on zope.org?  I tried to access:

  http://www.zope.org/Members/mmceahern/externalEdit_/installing_zeo

and I got this traceback:

<!--

I assume I need to setup the Helper, but does the fact that I haven't done
that explain this traceback?

Thanks,
