  We report on prompt and afterglow observations of GRB 000615 detected by
BeppoSAX. The study of the high-energy prompt event is presented along with the
search for its X-ray and optical afterglow. Spectral fits seem to suggest a
temporal evolution of the GRB prompt emission. We possibly find evidence for
intrinsic N_H (at 90% confidence level) and for a transient spectral emission
feature around 8 keV (at 98% confidence level). The X-ray to gamma-ray fluence
ratio of 1.73 +/- 0.22 is one of the largest among BeppoSAX GRBs. A weak X-ray
source is also detected in the MECS, between 1.6 and 4.5 keV, and its position
is compatible with the WFC error box. The behaviour of this source may be
compatible with that of an afterglow. Low significance signal is detected in
the 0.2-1.5 keV at a position consistent with the WFC and MECS error boxes. The
S/N ratio is insufficient to speculate on the nature of this source. There is
no evidence of an optical transient down to R ~ 22.
