Here is an example that might help. This is for the "Internet" part.
The "File System" should work similarly.
Default or absolute path to this audio file:
http://www.delewis.com/devotionals/personal/2006/audio/dd060501.ram
Putting this into any web browser will access this file.
Suppose I want to put a link to this file in the index file of the
2006 folder. I could use the address above, or I could use a relative
address. The relative address would be ../2006/audio/dd060501.ram. When I
saved this file using OOo on a Linux system, the link appeared to be
file:///home/2006/audio/dd060501.ram. However, when I inserted it into the
http://www.delewis.com/devotionals/personal/2006/ folder, it became
http://www.delewis.com/devotionals/personal/2006/audio/dd060501.ram
eventhough the actual link in the source code was still
../2006/audio/dd060501.ram.
Here is the breakdown of what the relative address means for my
example:
../ (go up to the parent folder) 2006 (enter the 2006/ subfolder) /audio
(enter the audio subfolder) dd060501.ram (get this file).
