Im invoking out/1 from appmod  in yaws.conf,

Heh yeh i noticed that, but erlang / yaws docs + google doesnt make
anymore mention of it, or at least that i can find

I want all "pages" on a site served by a single function
www.domain.com/ - served by mymodule:out(A)
www.domain.com/home/ - served by mymodule:out(A)
www.domain.com/anything/else - served by mymodule:out(A)

and all files, css, images, js just given the actual file
www.domain.com/style.css - to just send style.css

I got it working, but its not the nicest solution,  a series of 
appmod = <"home",mymodule>
appmod = <"contact",mymodule> 
ect ect for each top level section

and a rewrite for root ( I cant find how to just to <"/",mymodule>

then i can just check is _regular(docroot++appmoddata),
and redirect_local if it is a file, else check the url and send back html

arg_mod_rewrite does seem like it would have the solution I want
though, I just cant find anymore information on it

Cheers
