What it essentially gives you is a view-within-a-view. If you've used Zend_Layout, then you've already come across this kind of thing. In the same way that a controller has it's own view, when you apply a ViewScript decorator to a form, you are giving the form it's own view which will be rendered when you echo the form object out. So, once you've set the ViewScript decorator, created your view for the form, it's just business as usual. Assign the form to the controller view, and echo it out inside your controller view script. The form view scripts themselves can be located anywhere on your "view script path" that is configured by the View application resource, "resources.view.basePath" in application.ini. Sorry, I’ve not been a very attentive blogger. :(
