 Status: Pending => Rejected

This is actually documented in the Zope Book at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/BasicObject.stx (uploading a script (python) section).

The new edition will become current soon.

Create a python script object in the ZMI. Start the first line with '##', then save. The ZMI will save then reload the script text. The first line will be missing, as well as any other contiguous lines starting with ## and any following whitespace before the script body.

This is not critical (indeed, it might even be a feature since it parses '##title' et al) but could easily confuse a newbie, especially since the Zope book's chapter on ZPT uses scripts that start with '## Script'. If it is not a bug, then the book should be changed so this weirdness is not visible.
