You probably want a page to receive the parameter, not a folder the way
you have shown.  If there is a dtml document called "page1" in your
"test" directory, then an HTTP request to the page might be

 http://mydomain.com/test/page1?param=3D1

In the dtml document "page", you would access the parameter as=20

REQUEST['param']

For example,

<dtml-var "REQUEST['param']">

There are variations that also work.  For example:

<dtml-var "param">
<dtml-var "REQUEST.param">
<dtml-var "REQUEST.form['param']">
