Hi all You can use relatives paths like that:
..\top-folder\ .\sub-folder\ ..\ means one folder level higher (..\..\ is like to folder levels up) .\ means actual working folder If you have your project files at the same level like a folder for your tex/metapost code like this: Therion-Folder Sub-Folder-Code Sub-Folder-project You can reference from your project folder to the code folder like this: ..\Sub-Folder\Code\metapost-code.th cheers, Torsten > Bruce Mutton <br...@tomo.co.nz> hat am 13.
