yes! but it did not work. i got some strange errors
(i mailed them to the list, related to an older structured text topic of 
this list, but no one answered)

hm. but the *WithImages thinges are allready inherited.(from HTML- and 
DocumentClass)why don't use them directly?
btw. i really just know the basics of python - so inheriting would be 
quite advanced i think :-)

you can't say, i didn't knew what i did, in general.
i've just chosen the simpliest way.
but i understand what you mean.
btw. before this modification to StructuredText.py i played around with 
the TreeTag.py to extend the dtml-tree functionality allowing to expand 
a single node by klicking a folder related text-link and not _only_ the 
+/- icons.(and added customizable +/- icons)
therefore i really had to work with the corefile due to the "internal"
tree-e variable restrictions.... maybe i will post this mod. in the 
future.(its really dirty, but hey... it works also!:-)

oh yes. many times before.(many people suggested to look there) and i 
must say i really felt beeing left alone on that Wiki pages. i 
definitifly found nothing usefull especially about images in stx.
and i don't like the Zwiki stuff itself either!

thanks anyways
