[Zope] url path remainder as a script parameter?

[Kent Watsen]

Dieter, thank you for your time and patience!

I found a product called DirArg that seems to do the trick, but its own 
documentation says that it is deprecated by traverse_subpath...

I also found http://zope.org/Members/lalo/scriptclass and have now 
written a simple Python-based product, which I am now modifying to 
derive off the Script class, but the instructions are a little 
cryptic...   But I think that I'm still missing something fundamental - 
a normal product has a class that has an index_html method - is the goal 
for my Script-derived product class's index_html method to have the 
traverse_subpath variable defined?

Also, the normal product's index_html is initialized using something like:
    index_html = DTMLFile("index_html", globals())
Is there such a thing as:
    index_html = PythonScriptFile("index_html", globals())
??? I googled, but couldn't find anything...

Again, my high-level goal is to have a Product that uses 
traverse_subpath to form a query against another application - surely 
this is not uncommon...

Thanks!
Kent
