THANK YOU!!
That's it.  dir(Zope) gives a bewildering array of choices,
(also some of the examples suggest it might be in
ZPublisher, etc). So this is not at all obvious, and I 
couldn't find any mention of it in the Zope Developer's
Guide.  It tells all about what to do with a root ZODB 
object, but not how to get the first one!  Or at least, if 
it does, I couldn't find it.

I'm off to go add a comment. ;-)

Thanks again,
Terry
