[Zope] saving/creating an object to an exsisting folderish object

[Allen Huang]

I found the solution...   use _.getitem(name)

this took some book flipping through some basic methods of zope modules in 'The Book of ZOPE' by Beehive. A pretty good book for beginners

I don't have a problem with manage_addProduct(). I know how it works. Creating objects in a folder is not a problem to me.
My problem is the folderish object which I'm trying to find with a string input.
 
If you've read my previous message,  
the server output error with name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') because name is a str object and does not have manage_addFile.
I understand this.
But name is an id to an exsisting folder that I want to access and do operation inside.
 
how would I modify name.manage_addFile('point', 'a point') into a working statement?

here is a german FAQ:

Google for manage_addProduct() or search on zope.org
