Thanks, that did it for sure! Here is my copleted method (tested and
working):

# List holds html fragments during index construction
html = []
# insert all profile object id's and profile_names into list
for profile in self['objectValues'](['Profile']):
  html.append(profile.id + '">' + profile.profile_name)
# join fragments together
html = '<a href="' + string.join(html, '</a><br>\n<a href="') +
'</a><br>\n'
return html

Your advise also showed me how to filter for a particular meta_type;
before I was just getting a list of object ids and using if/else to make
the object id was not in a hard coded list of the objects in the folder
that were not 'Profile's . Needless to say my method hampered
expandability and portability; yours was a big improvement. Thanks alot!
