That would be great!  I think it would really add to Modeling's
attractiveness if people could see how everything fits together from HTML
to SQL.
	I have a question in this regard:  I have Modeling working now
where it generated SQL schema and Ent. Objects based on my Model, and I
have used these objects to do simple tasks like inserting and fetching.
What I am trying to figure out now is how to use Zope to maintain the
state of a program that uses these Enterprise Objects.  Basically, how do
I get Zope to give me the POST data that is submitted from a form, access
the appropriate user's session and his editing context in that session,
and then use a templating system to send HTML back?  (the basic process of
a web app)

I'm sorry I guess I misused the term.  I simply meant what it is you are
doing, where you take what Apple's WebObjects does and reproduce its
functionality in Python.
	Thanks for your informative responses!
