[Zope] zope string question, easy for pythonistas

[Kapil Thangavelu]

1. authenticated user is a user object not a string, use
AUTHENTICATED_USER.getId() to get a string to compare against
2. use a python script
3. string in string doesn't work until python2.3, you'll have to do
string in list/tuple.
