I checked the code in 140cvs and it looks as if this parameter does not get used (any more?). I think the official way to solve your problem is to use a "copier". That's like a converter but copies a file from one dir to another, translating references to external files on the way. See "scripts/fig_copy.sh" for an example. Would this be possible for your problem or do you need the real original directory? Ciao /Andreas
