Hey, that worked! Thanks Chris

Now, *why* does that work?  The function
manage_addProduct looks like its for adding new
products under the Control_Panel.  That isn't what
it's for?

I don't have to do 
<dtml-with "manage_addProduct['OFSP']"> 
to use manage_addUserFolder ?


I noticed this in the OFSP stuff.  


from :lib/python/Products/OFSP/__init__.py
line :153

    context.registerClass(
        AccessControl.User.UserFolder,
       
constructors=(AccessControl.User.manage_addUserFolder,),
        icon='images/UserFolder_icon.gif',
       
legacy=(AccessControl.User.manage_addUserFolder,),
        )

   
context.registerBaseClass(AccessControl.User.UserFolder,
'User Folder')
    context.registerBaseClass(AccessControl.User.User)



Could adding something like this to the GUF fix the
problem I had and let manage_addGenericUserFolder work
by itself?


Jason
