Zencart will create a <base href> in the header, so all you need do is:

<img src="images/abcde.jpg">

(Assuming you have the image in the main images folder and it is called abcde.jpg)

I can't get more "layman" than this...

You need a very basic understanding of HTML if you want to manage your content in the way you are proposing. The <img src="images/abcde.jpg"> is very basic html...

Try putting this in to the input field for the "Insert Image" feature:

images/abcde.jpg

... and make sure the image is in the main images folder (you will have to FTP the image to that folder.

comes up with this error message, where am i going wrong

Not Found
The requested URL /editors/htmlarea/popups/<img src="images/mainpic.jpg"> was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You could insert an ABSOLUTE url, rather than the RELATIVE url, but this can have issues down the line with things like SSL and Secure Page warnings.

I would just TOGGLE (the <> symbol on the menu) to HTML code and (as I said earlier) strip in

<img src="images/mainpic.jpg">

where you want it to show.

www.w3schools.com have good html tutorials.
