I have tried to read the mail-archives and look in the docs regarding
AutoLoad, but I can't understand how this action works.

Should it be defined in the page-template, or in the catalog.cfg? And how
should I define the AutoLoad to catch from the URL a empty subdir
(cgi-bin/cart.cgi/subdir), and display the index.html
(cgi-bin/cart.cgi/subdir/index.html) page in that directory automagically?
