 For the browser presentation we can also use a browser view providing
 the result set with extended attributes:
 
-  >>> #rsView = component.getMultiAdapter((context, TestRequest()), IBrowserView)
+  >>> #rsView = component.getMultiAdapter((rset, TestRequest()), IBrowserView)
+
 
 The reporter package also includes facilities for sorting the rows in a
 result set and splitting a result into batches.
