Using XML to insert graphics, FM 7

Question

I work with a very complex process to take MS Word rtf files, structure them and convert them into xml, then run PERL scripts to export them for web and print output. The print files are edited in FrameMaker 7.0 for Mac. I want to be able to change the placement of some of the graphics that are automatically placed, but I'm not sure about how to do it.
A PERL script is run on XML files, a note in the script says:
#"The following section inserts standard graphics into the xml
# These are inserted here because attaching them using FM "Frame Above Pgf" does not place them correctly as of FM 7.0 (Mac)"
A graphic that we use is inserted as follows:
# insert the handbook graphic on directives that reference it.
$graphic = "<AnchoredFrame file=\"graphics\/directive_anskey.tif\" impby=\"ref\" position=\"runin\" dpi=\"300\" align=\"aright\" width=\"1.5in\" height=\"1.0in\" xoffset=\"0in\" yoffset=\"0in\"/>";
$text =~ s/<directive_anskey>(.*?)<\/directive_anskey>/<directive_anskey>${1}<\/directive_anskey>\ r$graphic/gsi;
But if I don't want the graphic to Run Into the paragraph, but be Placed at Insertion Point and at -72. pt above baseline, what do I need to change in the above text to make it so?
Another place I can change this instruction is in the resulting XML files that are created after running the series of PERL scripts:
directive_anskey>Check your answers with the key.</directive_anskey>
<AnchoredFrame file="graphics/directive_anskey.tif" impby="ref" position="runin" dpi="300" align="aright" width="1.5in" height="1.0in" xoffset="0in" yoffset="0in"/></selfcheck></lesson>
Again, where can I alter the file so that the position will be as I want it, and so I don't have to go in and do it manually?
I would change the position="runin" to something like "insertpoint"? I've tried different versions of this, with no luck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I didn't create our process, but I have to work with it.

Hi Fogharty,
Use following attribute values for graphic element to place them inline with para text and align the graphics vertically:
position="inline" (corresponds to anchoring position "At Insertion Point"
bloffset = "-72pt" (corresponds to "Distance Above Baseline")
Additionally you can control the horizontal positioning, ie. distance to adjacent text, by adjusting the anchored frame size (width/height) vs imported graphics facet size (impsize) and x-offset (xoffset) attribute values.
Hope this helps,
