yep - thats what i realised at last. But, there are one-off times when 
a quick and dirty solution is required to meet some deadline, and 
this is where i got stuck. I finally solved the problem by using the 
'root' variable like
python:root.abc.cde.efg.hijk.getnames()
but this means starting from the zope root, and is a long way to the 
final folder. It could be shortened if i could find the python 
equivalent to the string $plone_url
