[Zope] path to argument rewrite

howdy.

i'm writing a zope page that generates dynamic content based on the query string in the URL. for example:

http://index_html?content=introduction is different from http://index.html?content=contact

some search engines have trouble indexing pages by query strings. a common way around this is to use a path instead of a query
string in the URL and rewrite the path as a query string. so:

http://index_html/content/introduction is rewritten as http://index_html?content=introduction by the webserver.

i know how to use a rewrite rule in apache to do this.
i've heard that this is doable in Zope.
but i can't find any documentation on how to do this. can anyone help?

thanks!
