Thanks.  I also found this URL which covered it pretty well.

Routes look pretty cool, but I don't think we need them right now.   We 
should be able to cover all of our actions/views by using the default 
'<controller>/<action>/<paremeters>' URI format.

The redirect examples were helpful.  It just goes to show how easy it is 
to extend.    You added one method to the base controller, and now 
there's a simple/flexible way of redirecting between pages.

I like it.  It's simple and easy to follow, yet pretty powerful.  It's 
based on rails, which a few of you already have experience with. I'll 
try and converting one of our pages to it and see how it goes.
