OK...  I just tested this on Eloi's Article mod (because that is the
only mod I have available with more than one page) with the following
rewrite rule with phpwebsite 10.1 and it works.

URL = article3-2.html 

RewriteRule ^article([1-9][0-9]*)\-([1-9][0-9]*).html$
index.php?module=article&view=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}&page_num=$2&
%{QUERY_STRING}

Which rewrites to:

module=article&view=3&page_num=2

The caveat at this point is that it needs BOTH the article number and
the page number.  It is a relatively simple implementation of Eloi's
short URL hack (which works wonderfully and I wholeheartedly endorse!)

Just in case I am being too subtle, I would really like to see an
implementation of short URL's for Fallout.
