See: http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-June/006132.html I don't think you can get away without patching ZPublisher and using rewrite rules, but it's a *tiny* patch. I've been using this for several weeks without a hitch, and it has been very nice to be able to type "4am.com/manage" rather than "4am.com/Zope/4am/manage" (I also rewrite to Zope if a URL lacks periods). Between this and the template scheme we use, my web-design partner is pretty happy. now-if-Dreamweaver-only-did-WebDAV-ly y'rs Evan Simpson
