-  The document sets a cookie with this code::

-    <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setCookie('lastVisited',
-      _.DateTime())">
- 
-  The document checks each sighting when displaying it to see if it is
-  newer than the 'lastVisited' cookie::
-  
-    <dtml-if expr="bobobase_modification_time() >
-      _.DateTime(lastVisited)">
+  Notice that the page uses the [tal:define] statement to defines a
+  'lastVisit' variable. It is defined by calling the 'lastVisit.py'
+  script. This variable holds the time that the user last visited the
+  page as recorded in a cookie.
+
+  Later in the template this time is compared to the modification time
+  of each sighting object. If the sighting is new then it is marked as
+  such by including a bold tag.  The bold tag uses the [tal:condition]
+  statement to optionally include its contents. In this case the
+  condition checks to see whether the 'bobobase_modification_date' of
+  the sighting is newer than the last visit. This strangely named
+  method keeps track of the last modification date of Zope objects.
+
+  Now let's examine the 
+  'lastVisit.py' script.
+
+    2. Click on the 'lastVisit.py' script to view it.
