"/Users/jgill/Documents/Web/CHOG/CHOG1and1/Archive 
Photos/Juvenile-Shag.jpg" --> path to image I want to import using 'choose 
file'
"/Users/jgill/Documents/Web/CHOG/CHOG1and1/Commoner Species 
Photos/Shag.htm" --> path to html file using 'set thepath to file of 
thefile'

I have set up a loop to find the difference between these two paths and it 
produces "../Archive Photos/Juvenile-Shag.jpg" after a bit of massaging. 
That is what I want. I just wondered if there is a more elegant way for 
doing it?
