I'm (slowly) learning Zope, and loving every bit of it, but have run into a few snags. I'm quite comfortable with PHP, which I know is the source of a lot of my problems as Zope and PHP are two entirely different paradigms.
There's just so much information on the Zope website, that I'm having a difficult time finding the answers to certain problems, which unfortunately have left me in somewhat of a quagmire.
Can someone point me to the location where I might find more information on the following, with regards to Zope:

- Variable Passing through GET request
Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to create a "tool-tip" (which is actually contained in a frame) and would like to pass a parameter to the DTML document which contains the HTML, etc. for the tool-tip. Something like: <a href="show_tip?a=b&c=d"> Q: Is there a magical Zope variable that contains the arguments passed on a GET URI (as in PHP?) Q: Must any variable be declared first?
the object is usually called request ( or REQUEST ), ZPublisher marshals them for you http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes
- "case" statement Q: Does there exist the equivalent of a shell "case" statement in Zope? (This is in line with my previous questions).
