[Geomoose-users] URL parameters

[Carl Burn]

Hello all,

one thought occurs, how do I go about changing the name of the index file
that is called when geomoose starts up, at the moment this is geomoose.html.
Is this simply a case of changing the file name or is it wired into the
setup of geomoose, if I can alter the file extension then I can see a way to
solve this easily.
