Way to put images in separate folder than eprime file?

[David McFarlane]

Mary,

Thanks for trying the search first.  I suspect you just did not know 
what exact search terms to use.  You are struggling with the 
intricacies of the "file path separator" in E-Prime, so search again 
using terms such as "file path", "path name", or "path separator", 
and search both the E-Prime Google Group 
(http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime ) and the PST Forum 
(http://support.pstnet.com/forum ), you will come upon past 
discussions and full explanations (note also that the PST KB article 
on this does not quite get it right).

Regards,
