I see. What is (probably) happening is that ToolManager isn't passing
along the WorkBench paths. IM R/t has some CBM-supplied code in it that
captures the host paths from the workbench in a rather indirect manner;
this is probably broken by ToolManager.
It's *very* unfortunate, but when programs (such as IM R/t) are launched
from the WorkBench, they do not get the path information that WorkBench
itself was launched with from the shell. This is a crippling shortcoming
of AmigaDOS. The workaround in Imagemaster is fragile – and there's not
much we can do about it.
