Jeanne and Wil
Thanks both for your responses. Having determined that the
defaultFolder was not as I thought it was - thanks Jeanne, I was then
began to contemplate how to set it for any standalone - thanks Wil
and xworlds.com. Done. I am now able to continue down my path of
Revolution enlightenment.

The first thing to do is make sure the relative path is correct. Try this
in the message box:
there is a file "../pictures/ice.jpg"
and see whether it evaluates to true or false. If it evaluates to false,
there's something the matter with the path - possibly a misspelling, or
maybe the defaultFolder isn't what you think it is and so the relative path
is starting out in the wrong place.
