Ok, and how about opening files/objects in zope folder with external
method? For example I have in the same zope folder Book1.txt file which
I have to parse and pass it to the SQL method. Do I have to supply full
path: open(/usr/local/Zope bla blabla/Book1.txt....)  [I cannot do it
open('self.Book1.txt'..]      or can I somehow open all files/objects in
current folder without supplying path?

And one more question- how do I make a form that allows to upload files
to some zope folder?
