Hi 

Thanx for your response david ... .though i was
excpecting better responce from other zopists in this
mail list , but i suppose they are happy with there
dreamweaver/emacs/ or plain zope ... anyway i keep up
with my work ...

well u mentioned it would b easy to make wyswyg in
windows platform easier; i seriously dont belive
itthough there are many resons. I still adhere to
making it platform independent ... well if u wanna
play with some codes www.manning.com/grayson -- it has
the source codes of the "Python and Tkinter " book .
see the GUI building on cross platforms ... itz really
astonishing ..

As of now , i have Tkinter in my pocket , which comes
with every python installation ... so no problem
making a GUI . I want to concetrate more on interation
of Zope and ur IDE ...

My main hurdle is lack on Documentation on zope ( DC
are u listening? ) .. most of the stuffs has to b read
and understood from the source itself .... yesterday -
whole day i was wondering which is a way to taking the
object values to make a tree widget ..

1.via zope itself calling manage_menu which inturn
calls Treetag.py ( inside
<zope>\lib\python\TreeDisplay ) .. thats how zope
draws ur tree in manage panel... reasons why i discard
it is that it gives me the HTML tags ( most of which
are only understood by zope itself like icons ) i dont
want HTML i want something like a list/tuple of object
, its url , itz icon .

2. so i jumped to XMLRPCserver ...well though itz a
think client .. im still stuck how to get
authenticated in XMLRPC ( im sure there is a way to
get it .. but dunno how ) ... authentication is
requred to access http://zope:8080/manage_menu

3.FTP / WebDav : On Guesses for this , though

i hope to get a ans soon on this .. in the mean time
.. i need some smart answers ;)
