Thanks, came across this:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ts', ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'))">

from a tip on the zope site:
http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill/Documentation/AutoGenID

But when I stick it into the right place in folder_factories:

       <input type="text" name="id" value="<dtml-var "REQUEST.set('ts',
ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'))">" size="50">

It comes back with 'None' in the id field on screen.  Hmm, don't know the right
syntactic sugar for this.  -- IV
