I think your examples have finally, indirectly gotten through to me.

I was originally thinking in terms of one path-list files containing
ALL the different paths and wondering how in the
world the correct path is going to get cross referenced to the proper
switch.

Now I have concluded: each switch has its own unique
path-list file which only contains one path. Am I home yet?

I had also concluded that each path-list file was bracketed by
percent signs. ???

Oh, OK. I believe that I have things configured so that I do not
need to use graft-points. Everything I want in the ISO file is in Drive
M: in the order I want them in the ISO file.

Pure ignorance and guess work.
