surely.
first of all the path to the file is platform dependant. so get the
delimiter by using:
pathDelimiter = the last char of the pathname
then your path to the file is
the pathName & "violin" & pathDelimiter & "main"
this assumes that the subdirectory "violin" is in the same location as
the movie itself, and the the movie "main" is in that subdirectory.

yes, call forget on the window, or set the windowList back to []
that being said, this is a funny way to open submovies, but i guess if
it works, it works. if anyone else has technical or philosophical
objections, i'm sure it'll be mentioned...
