Ok, if you have relative urls for those images, they're not going to work
*quite* that simply - obviously if your url is
http://www.test.com/seaside/pastword/some/other/stuff, and you have
<img src="foo.gif">, that's not going to come out as
http://test.com/foo.gif the way you want it to.

You need to let Seaside modify that url, which means putting an @ sign in
there, like this: <img src="@foo.gif">.  Hopefully that's an acceptable
change to make.

You'll also need to tell the Seaside app where your images are stored (eg,
http://test.com/), so go into the configuration page for your pastwork app
and set the document root to that url (or just '/' should work here).
Programmtically, that's
  (IAApplication at: 'pastwork') documentRoot: '/'.

This make sense?
