First, the DTML etc. used by the Zope management interface is all there
in the Zope directory, typically under the lib/python/ subdirectory. 
The two directories of most interest are probably AccessControl (for the
authentication/permissions stuff) and OFS (for the folder contents,
etc.)

Second, Steve Alexander's recommendation of the PTK is also worthwhile.
