Thank you very much, Tadziu.  It works, and now the next problem
arises... :)

I am missing something too which perhaps is a problem of the escaping
mechanism and seems to me like somewhat related to Rüdigers point. -
When I define

        .ds MAP .PIMG -R /(...PATH...)/bit.png

then in html I geht that bit.png with \*[MAP].  But not inside the ATABLE
macro.  Here

        .ATABLE \*[MAP]  (and .ATABLE "\*[MAP]" etc.)

outputs the text of the definition, not the defined bit.png, i.e.
exactly

        .PIMG -R /(...PATH...)/bit.png

inside the table.  I tried with different escapings, setting .ec §
instead of .eo and .cc % .  But perhaps this is wanting to much?

Best,
erich.
