[Zope] Property Sheet Question

I'm experimenting with creating a custom form for managing my 
properties.  In my ZClass, I've created a DTMLMethod which lets me edit my 
properties.  In my Views view, I've selected my custom form as the form for 
my Properties tab.  When I create an instance of my ZClass, I have two 
views (tabs) defined, Contents and Properties.  When I click on Properties, 
I see my form.  However, if I move the mouse over the Properties view, the 
URL I see in the status pane is different than the URL of the page 
currently being displayed.

For example, the name of the method which displays my form is 
"manageProperties".  When I click on the object to get to the page which 
shows the Contents and Properties tabs, if I move my mouse over 
"Properties" I see the URL ".../ZClassInstance/manageProperties".  Clicking 
on this tab displays the proper form.  Now when the mouse is over the 
"Properties" button, the URL is 
".../ZClassInstance/propertysheets/instanceProperties/manage".  The 
"instanceProperties" is the name of the property sheet defined for my ZClass.

Can someone explain to me what is going on, and more importantly, how to 
correct the problem?

Thanks.
