SEXPs

Since HLP is being s### at the moment, and I don't want to keep starting threads to ask simple questions, and the search function is disabled for who-knows-why, I'd better ask here.

I'm making a campaign to follow on from that single mission I was asking about the other day, and as part of I'm doing a cutscene mission.
Now, all the camera work and stuff is fine, but I want some music playing, so I'm using the play-sound-from-file SEXP to do it.
However, I don't know what folder to put the file in, what format it should be saved in, and so on. Entering the entire filepath is impossible, as there is a character limit in the SEXP editor.
Any help will be muchly appreciated.

OK. Next problem.

Messages when using the set-camera-position and associated SEXPs.

Since using the normal send-message SEXP causes the head ani to appear, but nothing else, and training-msg causes nothing to appear at all, I'll have to use show-subtitle.

However, this seems absurdly complicated, as it takes over a dozen arguments, and I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have a completed show-subtitle SEXP that they can screenshot?
