Setting Paths

[Brent Fraser]

You need to do two things:
   1. set up a virtual directory, say  g:\_PublicWebSite\wwwroot\ms_demo\tmp
        to point to g:\tmp (you've likely already done this)
   2. Edit the  demo.map file.  In the WEB portion:
            IMAGEPATH "g:\_PublicWebSite\wwwroot\ms_demo\tmp\"
            IMAGEURL "/tmp/"

Leave the demo.html as it was delivered.
