Interesting. The ZClass tutorial doesn't talk about it like this, but I've
found that I need to do this to change properties:
<dtml-call
"myCD.propertysheets.MyPropSheet.manage_changeProperties({'artist':'Victor
Ng'})">

I've cc'ed Amos on this in case the ZClass tutorial needs to be updated.
Just calling "ZClassInst.manage_changeProperties" hasn't worked for me...
