Subject:      Accessing files outside of catalog

Hi all, I have an SCL program within a catalog where I need to access a
file outside of the program.  The SCL program is actually a series of fputs
to create a webpage.  I need to have an image on the page, but I can't seem
to get to the image in the catalog.

For example, my catalog exists in /data/catalog, whereas my images exist
in /data/images.  Is there a way to get to these images?  Since I'm trying
to use an image on a webpage, I have to access it through the URL
(http://www.mydomain.com/<location of files>/<image>.gif)  I can move the
images directory somewhere else, but I can't figure out where.  Should
the "root" of the catalog be /data/catalog?  Meaning if I put the images
directory under this directory, I should be able to access by
www.mydomain.com/images/file.gif?

Or, I thought there was a way to insert an image into a catalog but I may
be mistaken.  This will also work if needbe.

I hope this made some sense.  I'm using SAS 8.2x on hpux (version??).  If
you need more info, let me know.  Thanks in advance!
