I am afraid that without an example, that does not say anything
meaningful to me. :^(

OK, what is a graft-point?

> /dirname/filename

>>mkisofs -v -o %H:\ISOIMAGES\ecs11cd1.iso% -r -J -m

A file name is an environment variable?

I was trying to add a path and log file name to the
end of the command.
