I appreciate the pointer, but I've read the documentation and it,
frankly, sucks.

It's really dismaying that a company with the resources of Google is
doing such a piss-poor job at delivering this toolkit.

First of all, this simple thing should be trivial to solve -  one line
of code. The point of GAE is that it's supposed to be easy, right?

Second, you shouldn't have to read 3 or 4 incomplete, poorly written,
disjoint pieces of documentation to figure something out. It's not
like this is a free service.  Google really ought to ask themselves
whether they want to do this and then look at the documentation Adobe,
for example, provides for their tools. Even in Beta the Flex
documentation and tools were orders of magnitude better than what
Google provides. This is like, read the GAE "documentation", then read
the django docs and figure out what does and does not apply, then read
the docs for some python library, but we don't support it so you can't
use it.....  Then write your own version of the python library and
maybe you can do this thing that would be one line of code in Django
or Java or any good toolkit. Ok two lines of code if you count the
import statements.
