Let me rephrase....

When I say custom URL I mean... that http://www.yoursite.com/controller
is the regular format.... What if it was
http://www.yoursite.com/your_screen_name,
and then route that to the profile controller and index action for
example.

Make sense?

Read up on routing.  There is a file called routes.rb in your config
directory that does this mapping for you.

This is a good place to start.

Thanks for the help... BTW it is my first time even using rails =)

heres'' what I finally was able to do

map.connect ''*path'', :controller =>
''profile'', :action => ''index''

at the bottom of routes...

Seems to work.  Cheers
