Any Zope object provides methods to manage its content.
The Management Interface (ZMI) use (part of) these methods to
perform its task.

You can either:

  *  look at the ZMI source to find out which methods it uses

  *  look at the source to find out which methods are available

  *  use my "DocFinder" product to get this information
