Thanks, Ross.  That did the trick.  And it was a trick.  I don't think I
would have come up with it on my own.  I would say that the coding that
Bruce Miller made possible through his modifications to graphicx.perl are
more straight-forward and more likely to be stumbled upon by an average
user.  He claims his modifications should have produced relative URLs.
It might be worth investigating why they did not in my case.  Could it
have something to do with the way I configured LaTeX2HTML?  If there's
anything I can do to help, please let me know.
