Apologies, a typo in my original example made my problem less clear.

I have  no problem accessing a given file, even if it has a .extension; my
problem is trying to figure out how to do traversal and require it to be
from the root folder, rather starting at the current directory.  In other
words, yes, I can do this:
container.restrictedTraverse('A/B/C.pdf')
But what I want to be able to do is:
container.restrictedTraverse('/A/B/C.pdf').  Note the leading '/' before 'A'

And, err, 'nevermind' -- I figured I might as well trawl ZopeLabs (I didn't
know about them until you sent the links above), and found 'get Root
Object', cookbook recipe #994090604.  That should do the trick.

Thanks!
