| Make sure your zclass inherits from Renderable
| make a dtml method called render in your zclass
| adjust render to display the zclass as you wish

Okay, I can make these changes, but when you say 'Make sure your zclass
inherits from Renderable,' how do I do that?
Should I see 'Renderable' as one of the BASE CLASSES available when I am
creating a zclass, or can I somehow modify an existing zclass to
all-of-a-sudden inherit from Renderable (and how would one do that??)
I was rather expecting to see 'Renderable' as an option in the BASE CLASSES,
but it's not there. If it's supposed to be there, can you fathom what I may
have done wrong?
