I found this already set up in the config file. The note in there about 
scriptalias basically says it allows you to set a different cgi folder, 
but all I want is a file alias. There is a similar configuration for 
plain aliases -- maybe I need to set that?

I don't know much about this, but it seems important that the file will 
be opened by MC and not by the server. When an MC script starts using a 
stack, does the server config file even matter? The request isn't coming 
in over the network when that happens.
