I didn't, I cheated with a little help from this list ;-)

Firstly, give any files you want to edit a .html extension or get a Mac (the Mac
version of Dreamweaver treats files without an extension as html)

Secondly, so you can have index.html instead of index_html, rename index_html to
index.html and create a new DTML method called index_html containing the
following line only:
<dtml-var index.html>

Neat, huh? ;-)

(you even get to protect your methods because you can't open them in DW!)
