This would work, but it just loads stack wmc.mc each time the CGI is
run...

I don't follow this: there isn't any way to send a message from one
running version of MetaCard to another this way. At this point,
assuming you can't or don't want to run mchttpd, probably your best
bet is to use something like the little client/server app posted to
this list a little while back where the CGI program is the client and
the server is the long-running MetaCard process that loads your large
text files. This is basically the same architecture as mchttpd,
except instead of the browser data going directly to the server, it
goes through the system HTTP server as an intermediate step.
