Yes, just longer and more concrete.  I've tried to include all the
method names and such.

Well, kind of both... I encountered an ordinary user problem, and
instead of experimenting I wanted to look at the Webware code so that
I could know why the problem occurred and what I had to do to fix it.

Basically I was just confused.  I haven't revisited it yet, so I
suppose I'm still confused, but more confident that I can figure it
out this time.  

One thing I appreciate about CGI is that I understand the entire
process very well (because it is very simple).  One thing I very much
disliked about Zope was how opaque it felt to me.  I'm hoping Webware
can provide a middle ground -- simple, but not too simple.
