The utilities assume a "base" directory that is set up by PSComUtil or the
Debugger.  Since

>MWbload("cdrom:\sprite.tim", (void *) SPRITE_1);

works, that means that the base directory is set up ok.

If you want to go into a subdirectory, reference it as a relative path just
like dos.

You might try nuking the "cdrom:"  That really isn't necessary.  Thus

>MWbload("mydata\sprite.tim", (void *) SPRITE_1);

should work fine assuming that "mydata" is a subdirectory in your base
directory. 

The base directory defaults to the same directory as your .pse file. 
However, you can change it in your debugger using the preference panel
(after your open the .pse file)
