Question about graphics use in MetaCard.

Our current CBT effort has resulted in a 12mb MetaCard stack.
The majority of the 12mb is graphics (bmps & gifs).

Is it possible to not import the images into the stack and modify our
stack directory to have a 'images' sub-directory where we can keep all
the images? Or, do I have to import all the graphics into the stack?

The problem becomes the path statement. If I don't import the graphic to
the stack, it puts a path statement in for the graphic. This is fine for
development purposes, but when we move our final 'runtime' to the
machine it will be on, that path statement errors out, because it does
not exist on the delivery machine.

This particular 'lesson' we just completed is one of the smallest ones,
so we must be able to separate the images from the stack.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Or, am I approaching it wrong?
