Rob and you are now officially my Gods. Sorry I didn't see that about the SVN gateway before, I'm just a little overwhelmed with trying to learn too much new stuff in too little time. In any case, just to indicate to others how easy this is:
1) Put your images in a directory, anywhere. I called mine 'pix'. 2) Download importImages.php and importImage.inc.php from the gateway mentioned at the end of this message, and install them in the "maintenance" subdirectory of the wiki installation. 3) Run an appropriate command line command. For my computer, in the "maintenance" dir, that was "php importImages.php ../pix jpg".
The first arg is the dir containing the images, second and subsequent args are extensions indicating the file types you wish to process. These are given _without_ the "." preceding the extension. I only used the above command (i.e single jpg extension), so can't say anything about other extensions.
The command will not overwrite files already in the directory; perhaps there is a way to force such a thing? Fortunately, I don't see us needing such a thing.
Once again, many, many thanks, Ken

Why not just use your web browser along with the HTTP SVN gateway [1] that was mentioned earlier in the thread? There's really no need to learn SVN when you will only be using the script once.
