This took me forever to figure out.  Any ways.  When you are in the development environment create a folder in the Revolution folder for these files.  We will call it "images."  Then when you want to put a picture in to you stack, use the image
tool, open up the properties, click the tab to the left and link it to /images/yourfile.  You could browse to it then just delete the first part of the path.  Then when you build it you will have to move this folder to where it was built to.  Hope
that helps.  Would be nice if the Rev documentation tells new users that.
