---------------

    Zope comes with a built-in tutorial. The tutorial guides you
    through all the basics of creating and managing Zope objects. To
    launch the tutorial, add a Zope Tutorial to the current folder by
    selecting *Zope Tutorial* from the Product add list. Give it an id
    which is unique in the current folder, such as *tutorial*. The
    tutorial comes with several examples that you can change and copy
    for your own use.

       How do I start the tutorial exactly?? All I see is a bunch of tutorial examples in folders. What button are
       they referring to to start the tutorial?

       You can click on the 'help!' link when you're in the root folder. From there you 
       can follow the Tutorial link, in the navigation window. 

       A problem I have actually, is that it's complaining it can not find the Tutorial 
       Examples. But I did install/import them, and I see the examples residing in 
       the help folder and the tutorial is working as far as I can concern.

       I had that same problem with the tutorial examples. I noticed that if I reinstalled the tutorial with an id
       not containing white spaces, everything was ok.
       To start the tutorial, you can also open file index_html from the tutorial folder and click on the "view"
       tab.

       What I donīt understand and you might clarify this point: Why do I have to "add" tutorial to some folder...
       Why not use the one in the cont... Wait, I think I get it:
       Folder: /Control Panel/Products

       Hosts the "templates/products" which appear afterwards (some magic included) in the "Product add list". Eg.
       The product/template "MailHost (Installed product MailHost (MailHost-1-2-0))" in /Control Panel/Products
       corresponds to the "Product add list"-entry: Mail Host.
       Same applies to the template/product: ZopeTutorial (Installed product ZopeTutorial (Zope Tutorial 1.0)) - It
       can be put into action when inserted via the "product add list". Okay, finally I understand the mechanism...
       I think...

       Why not explaining the products/templates in the section
       - Administering and Monitoring Zope + Fig. 2.6
       And show the connection between the "Product Folder" and the "Product Add List".

       Tutorials are working fine for me... except for #11. The database connection is closed... When I click to
       connect, I get:
       "Invalid connection string: Demo"

       How do I fix this?

       I cannot get the tutorial to work, tried all the above but I keep getting a
       message telling me to install the examples.
       I tried to run the tutorial fron the help folder but I get an error message when creating the first Elvis
       Lives page
       Error Type: KeyError

       I'm a total Zope Newbie...

       I'm trying to run the tutorials as instructed, but am getting this message:

       Site Error

       An error was encountered while publishing this resource. 

       Error Type: Bad Request
       Error Value: File does not exist: ZopeTutorialExamples.zexp

       I installed using a package for Mac OS X. Where can I get these files and how do I install them?
