[Michael Bradbery]

Thanks Martijn and Thierry,

Neither of your solutions worked, but they did give me some ideas and I now 
have a better idea of the mechanics of my problem...

Thierry, my main.dtml is different to yours... and Martijn,
   ^/Zope(/.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi$1 didn't work... but, thinking 
with my fingers, looking at the main.dtml (it is burried so deep in the 
subdirectories....  I doubt I would have found it myself) I discovered that 
I could add pages, if I went directly to the address: 
http://linus/Zope/manage_addDTMLDocumentForm




I could change the main.dtml so that I am sent to these type  addresses, but 
I feel I will run into other trouble later on when I try external methods.

The way I understand it at the moment, what the rewrite rule is trying to do 
is to turn:

http://linus/Zope/?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm

into

http://linus/Zope.cgi?%3Amethod=manage_addDTMLDocumentForm

which will then redirect to

http://linus/Zope/manage_addDTMLDocumentForm


I feel very close to a solution now... and at least I can build some Zope 
pages while I am stumped.

Thanks again....

I will go away for a think and try again tonight or tomorrow.

MGB.
