Hi!  I'm a little late but after playing around with this, I think I can help. 
Or at least give something to try if Purple Phoenix comes back a month after
asking.  lol

Actually, "&" can be used in Windows filenames.  I don't know that it works in
the HTT structure function.  May need to precede it with a \ or something...
maybe not.

But, if instead of "index.php?showtopic=100&st=90"
you'd settle for "index.showtopic#100.st#90.php"
this should work: %h%p/%n.%[showtopic:showtopic#:.::]%[st:st#:.::]%t
at least for all the pages that look like this:
index.php?s=ghhkgkhdfskjghdfk&showtopic=100&st=90

I know you cannot put a "?" or "*" in there.
I don't know what happens if you try using &'s and ='s :)
try: %h%p/%n.%t%[showtopic:#showtopic=:::]%[st:&st=:::].html
or: %h%p/%n%[showtopic:#showtopic=:::]%[st:&st=:::].%t
Btw, I believe that the filetypes (extensions) of the mirrored index.php's
will be .html...
...unless they're not.

Without doing this, the PHPSESSID should be irrelevant with default settings
because the query string would be replaced with an MD5 hash.  In other words,
the forum should be "all linked together" without any changes - unless I'm
missing something...
