That's basically it. You create your own methods that make the interface
look like whatever you want. This is something you need to do anyway if
you're making CatalogAware ZClasses. (You can check out KM|Net News for an
example of this. Drill down to the KMArticle ZClass and look at "edit" and
"postit".)
