  The current version of MPW doesn't know about aliases, so you can't do what
you want to do easily...  A properly placed patch on whatever MPW uses to
open files to check to see if it's an alias and if so, resolve it before
returning would do the trick...  (The MPW guys are probably going to kill me
for even suggesting that...)
