newbe mod_rewrite question

Hi,
i can't get my url-rewriting running.

I like to rewrite www.foopage.com/dir/foo.html to /dir/index.php?boo=foo
just to look for for the index.php in the requesting directory and then
in the root directory

With
RewriteRule ([a-zA-Z0-9]+).html index.php?boo=$1
apache always uses the index.php under root (www.foopage.com/index.php)
and not in the requesting page (www.foopage.com/dir/index.php)

How can i accomplish that?

RewriteBase /dir

Also, if you put the .htaccess with the rewriterule in "dir", it should
work as well.

If you have other rules, you may want to use some flags like L, NS, QSA,
etc. - especially if later rules would cause a match to "/dir/index.php"
