It's dtml stuff in the ZODB, and I've noticed it's not easy <grin>.
I'd naively figured I could export my VERSIONS thinking it contained the
changes I'd made, no dice.  The whole point of the app is a dynamic
database where folders are added and deleted.  All of our site
installations have a different dataset.  At the same time, the app is
still in developement/refinement, and improvements need to be applied to
all of our offices, without upsetting their data.  All I'm changing
amount to new or revised DTML Methods, occasional SQL Methods, etc.

Thanks,
Gary.
