I didn't ask for it - but nevertheless got it. I would prefer if the  
title were grabbed from the data upon input assuming either the  
concatenated name or company name. Any way to assign it to the input  
of another field and keep it hidden ?

Look at the ComputedField; you probably want something like:

schema = ComputedField('title',
      expression='context.getCompanyTitle()',
      accessor='Title',
      ...
      )

def getCompanyTitle(self):
    # put whatever you want here to find the "right" title
    return self.getFname() + " " + self.getLname() 


Note the use of "accessor='Title'"--subtle but important;
if you don't have this, then Archetypes will use 'getTitle'
for the accessor, and the metadata API, for historical reasons,
requires Title.
