[ic] Specify the URL to append before the product sku?

You could create an ActionMap to map "products/sku.html" onto
"my_flypage.html?arg=sku".  Try adding something like this to
your catalog.cfg file:

    ActionMap products <<EOA
    sub {
        $Session->{arg} = shift;
        $Session->{arg} =~ s/^.*\/|\..*$//g;
        $CGI->{mv_nextpage} = 'my_flypage';
        1;
    }
    EOA

You would then need to copy your current flypage.html to a new
my_flypage.html page and add [fly-list]...[/fly-list] tags around
the block of [item-*] tags in there, like this:

    [fly-list prefix="item" code="[data session arg]"]
        code is: [item-code]<br>
        other item tags...
    [/fly-list]

Note that doing this will not disable the ordinary flypage
mechanism.  If someone called "cgi-bin/yourstore/000001.html"
then the flypage.html would be called as expected.

Also note that I haven't tried any of this. :-)
