[Zope] File System Directory View

[Charlie Jones]

I am interested in reading more about adding static/unmanaged html 
content to plone instance using File System Directory Views or the 
plone skins tool.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for some 
reading?  I seem to be looking in the wrong places.
