What do you mean by I can't see it? The ZClass instance won't show you
the contents of the ZClass definition, but that doesn't mean they can't
be reached. If you defined an index_html, have you tried using the view
method of the folder. By default it shows the index_html of the ZClass.
If you want the object to show up you'll have to call it from one of the
(DTML or other) methods inside the folder.

Yep. Probably the easiest way is to download the folder icon and then
specify it under the ZClass Basic tab, where there is an icon option.
