Daniel Johannsson sent me the following script: which
worked just fine:

sh
for i in `ls *html`
do
cat $i | sed -e 's/pic.gif/images\/pic.gif/g' >
tmp.html
cp tmp.html $i
done

(thanks Daniel)

More importantly i now know what tool is commonly used
for text operation such as this and will refer to it
(and it's man pages) in the future.

Thanks all,
/KRM
