Ahhh, that's where that is. Strange how these things can hide from you!

Or customize an existing portlet as described in another post. I think
the 'here' symbol triggers a search that includes the 'custom' directory
(as well as the acquisition path, containment path, and last season's
tv-guide)

So a quick thing to try is just delete  here/portlet_recent/macros/portlet

I scared myself a bit..

..wanted to try the above and see what it looks like, but it seemed to
delete the entire left-slot! I've restored it, but the undo didn't work
as expected so I added back the left slot and copied in the portlet
data. whew!

The delete key  at the bottom is evidently for deleting an entire
property. To delete one line from a list-of-lines, just delete within
the edit box and use the SAVE key on the bottom -- duh!

ZMI -> plone site -> properties tab
check the left-slot (indicating intention of changing that item)
cursor to 'here/portlet_recent/macros/portlet', delete that line with
CTRL-X and/or backspace-delete, etc
..THEN click Save Changes on the bottom of the page


OK, after fixing it back, I removed the line
  here/portlet_recent/macros/portlet
from left-slots

I also put-back full nav-menu from the root for any current page.
(I believe everything is still reversible, if needed.)

How does that look?
