It's easy. Example:

1) class IMyForm(Interface):
        title = TextLine(...)

2) class MyAddForm(zope.formlib.AddForm):
	form_fields = IMyForm

	def create(self, data):
	   # create you object from data-dictionary

   class MyEditForm(zope.formlib.EditForm):
	form_fields = IMyForm
        # yes it's all ! ;-)

3) in browser.zcml

  <page
      name="AddMyObject.html"
      for="zope.app.container.interfaces.IAdding" 
      class=".MyAddForm"
      permission="zope.ManageContent"            
      />
  <page
      name="edit.html"
      for=".IMyObjectInterface"
      class=".MyEditForm"
      permission="zope.ManageContent"            
      />

P.S. you can see usage zope.formlib in 'zsqlmap' (my product, see
zope.org ;-)
