Doh!

'symlink' is just shorthand for 'symbolic link', which on the
command-line is handled using 'ln -s <source> <dest>'.

So, if I want blah.html to also be accessable as index.html:

ln -s blah.html index.html

Beware, though: if you later remove blah.html, index.html will be what
is known as a "dangling symlink."
