Greets.

I'm (slowly) learning Zope, and loving every bit of it, but have run into a 
few snags.  I'm quite comfortable with PHP, which I know is the source of a 
lot of my problems as Zope and PHP are two entirely different paradigms.

There's just so much information on the Zope website, that I'm having a 
difficult time finding the answers to certain problems, which unfortunately 
have left me in somewhat of a quagmire.

Can someone point me to the location where I might find more information on 
the following, with regards to Zope:

 - Variable Passing through GET request

Here's what I'm trying to do:
	I'm trying to create a "tool-tip" (which is actually contained in a frame) 
and would like to pass a parameter to the DTML document which contains the 
HTML, etc. for the tool-tip.
	Something like:
	<a href="show_tip?a=b&amp;c=d">
	Q: Is there a magical Zope variable that contains the arguments passed on a 
GET URI (as in PHP?)
	Q: Must any variable be declared first?

 - "case" statement
	Q: Does there exist the equivalent of a shell "case" statement in Zope?
	(This is in line with my previous questions).

Thanks in advance.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
