[Seaside] Swazoo, VisualWorks, and Seaside 2.8

[James Robertson]

Carl,

You can establish shorter entry points.  I covered "static" entry  
points here:

http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView?content=seaside_tutorial11

I know this is covered in other Seaside tutorials; that's where I  
found the info in the first place :)

Additionally, using url rewriting, you can advertise any url you want.
