[Zope] next-sequence and previous-sequence help..

[Tony McDonald]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get something working that displays a sequence from a 
database and provide next-sequence and previous-sequence buttons. 
What is different from the online documentation is that I want both 
the buttons at the end of a sequence block.

eg, I want,
<!--#in my_sequence size=5 orphan=1 start=query_start-->
.
..the values from my_sequence...

<!--#if previous-sequence-->
previous button (batch of five).
<!--#/if-->
<!--#if next-sequence-->
next button (batch of five)
<!--#/if-->
<!--#/in-->

whereas the Zope docs imply this format,
<!--#in my_sequence size=5 orphan=1 start=query_start-->
<!--#if previous-sequence-->
previous button (batch of five).
<!--#/if-->

..the values from my_sequence...

<!--#if next-sequence-->
next button (batch of five)
<!--#/if-->
<!--#/in-->

The problem is that the previous-sequence button is not shown (at 
all). The docs say
'previous-sequence::	the variable is true when the first element 
is displayed, and when the first element displayed is not the first 
element in the sequence'

This *seems* to imply that previous-sequence can only be used at the 
beginning of a sequence...(and presumably that next-sequence can only 
be used at the end of a sequence).

Is this right?
