You create a DTMLMethod called index_html.
Either manually, or like so:

path = os.path.join(os.path.split( __file__)[0], 'dtml')
self.addDTMLMethod('index_html', '', open(os.path.join(path,
'index_html.dtml' )))

This assumes your object is an object manager. It will create an index_html
DTMLMethod and the default contents of this DTMLMethod will be what is in
the dtml/index_html.dtml file.
