O.k., this looks like a place to start.  I'll look
into it more.  Thank you.

Yeah!  That looks like what I want...but for all
users, not just superuser.

	zopeshell is a shell-like utility to navigate in
	a Zope database, add folders, remove objects, and
	edit DTML documents and methods with your
	favorite Unix text editor. 

It appears that zopeshell is an editing
environment, but I want to be able to interact
with my objects through their methods.

Thank you for the help.  If I don't find just
what I need, I think I'm starting to see the
pieces I need to glue together.
