Taking a look at MDL again on the new Toad-2 reincarnation of twenex.org, I encountered the same problem. I came back to this thread and thought some more about Rich's advice, and hit on the solution:

EITHER specify the full file specification DEV:<DIR>NAME.TYP of the MDL source to FLOAD (no need to define MDL:; .TYP can be omitted if ".MUD").

OR define logical name MDL: to point to the source file DEV:<DIR>. If FILE.MUD is in my login directory, then on twenex.org I have to set MDL: to PUBLIC:<PAPA>. Then <FLOAD "FILE"> works as advertised.
