David, the MC instructions about .mt scripts apply only to Unix. You 
are using Macintosh where the MacHTTP and your stack communicate via 
AppleEvents. You need to add an applevent (on applevent 
type,class,sender) handler and filter incoming events for web events 
using the type and class info. If you run your stack as a stack under 
MC, you also need to front end your appleevent handler to ensure that 
it is your stack that processes it.

I have currently a database online with MC as a cgi and MacHTTP as 
the web server, and it all works just dandy. If you need an example 
of an event handler or has some specific questions, write me off the 
list.
