[Zope] - Importing images from subfolders in lowerfolders fails

I have a folder heirarchy like this

/
   Air
     Links
       index_html


I have an image in /Air  called PlaneImage

In  /Air/Links/index_html I have

   <!--#var PlaneImage-->

The resulting output HTML is

<IMG SRC="PlaneImage" ALT="Small Airplane Image">


However, since PlaneImage is defined in /Air, shouldn't this really be

<IMG SRC="Air/PlaneImage" ALT="Small Airplane Image">


I'm wondering if I'm using the #var wrong, or if this is a "bug".

I'll have to hand-code all of my images if I can't get this to work.

What is the var for "path to myself", is in, in index_html above I want to 
get "Air/Links" as the path, and "index_html" as the document name.

To work around this problem, I've defined a property in /Air called 
"baseref" and set it to http://myhost.com:9673/Air"

Then all of my URLS are constructed using <!--#var baseref-->, but it's 
rather labor intensive..

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
