Just a question.

Did you try this in the Zope web management interface or using the file 
manager under windows?

I may be stating the obvious so please don't take offence but it is possible 
to create the file within the Zope management enviroment and import the file 
but the book is talking about the physical Extensions directory located in 
the zope directory in the filesystem found by using, in your case, windows 
file manager.

Just a thought.
