well, sort of, but there is no converting. Here's a suggestion, that may 
work for you assuming that I understand the problem properly:

The DTML-document contains some sort of information that you need to 
keep, but you also need to store stuff inside of it.

The most obvious solution is to create a folder with the same name as 
the DTML-document, put the DTML-document inside the folder and rename 
the doc to Index_html. moving all properties from the doc to the folder 
and presto, there you have it. renaming the doc index_html gives you 
url-compliance with previous urls, ie if you had /some/url/the_doc, you 
can still keep /some/url/the_doc, because it will automagically render 
/some/url/the_doc/index_html for you.

The API for creating and getting properties is availabel in the Zope 
Help from the ZMI.

HTH and Good luck!
