on your harddrive you have files and dir's ( directories ) right. the file name describes the identity of the file, ie it's name

. and the path describes how to get to that file, and it is a list of dir(s).

following that path will take you to the file, just as in realy life following a path will take you somewhere.

so in irrlicht you access a map by using
"c:\maps\map.bsp"
the path is the c:\maps

and to access a texture you might use
"..\..\textures\tex.jpg"
each of those ".." mean go up one directory from where i am now
and the path is ..\..\textures

hope this helps
