OK .. good point. It's a tradeoff between work up front

(If you're going to do *that* much development... make a
product in Python and you get fine-grained control over all
the properties and behaviors you want/need)

and elegance. On the shy side of elegance you might try beginning
all your 'story' dtml documents with a call to a dtml method
of the ZClass like this:

<dtml-var beginStory>

where beginStory is something like:

<dtml-if "id()=='story_dtml'"> 
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(URL1)">
</dtml-if>

I know.. it's a hack. You could clean it up a little... but it would
work.. and you'd get all the benefits of a simple ObjectManager.
