Thanks. Yeah, I've read that stuff a bunch of times but I'm still left
not being quite sure how to get at other objects in my app by URLs.
(I'm not interested in extending things, just accessing pre-existing  
objects).

I guess Root needs a bunch of .hac's for any URLs that I want...
but for some reason I keep having this strange idea that going
to "/page/" will call the main action of a "Page" object if there is  
any.
(for example).

Oh, and in the discussion of prototypes in the guide...
http://helma.org/docs/guide/framework/#prototypes
"Helma has a few prototypes that are present in all applications.  
These are the root, user, hopobject and global prototypes."

It would be cool to be able to see all the default properties and  
methods of each object (if any). I know HopObject has its own page,  
but seems to be missing properties .. and lists only the methods.
