I just spent the evening installing and configuring img_assist module and TinyMCE under Drupal 4.7. I’m a little tired. My little girl has a cold and I’m not getting much sleep. I glazed over a couple times, but I got it done eventually. I now have highly configurable, permissions-based rich text/WYSYWIG HTML editing and inline image upload, resizing and insertion in Drupal. Not only that, but uploaded images become nodes that can be reused in other nodes as well as galleries. So many people complain that you can’t do this with Drupal. Ha!
If you are trying this, keep these tips in mind: you need the image module, the img_assist module, the TinyMCE Module, the TinyMCE engine. I used the latest releases of everything, including the TinyMCE editor. Inside the img_assist module is a crucial piece called drupalimage. This is a TinyMCE plugin and should be moved from the root of img_assist to the TinyMCE plug-in directory.
You also need to follow the install instruction of all of these pieces to the letter. Edit the plugin_reg.php file so the drupalimage plugin registers. Make a new Input Format called Rich Text Editing and turn off all filters except inline images. Create a TinyMCE profile with the right permissions. There’s more…follow the install instructions for all components.
But that isn’t why I’m writing this. I’m writing this to tell you about the Serverside spellchecker plugin for the Google XML service. It goes out to Google, checks spelling and when you click on red underlined words it suggests alternate spellings. So cool. Your customers will love you.
And don’t forget the compressor. It speeds up the loading of TinyMCE by about 300 percent.
Man, rich text editing for the web has come a looooong way.

I coulnd’t agree more: Drupal can perfectly do images and content and all that stuff real easy with a permission-based WYSIWYG editor and all that hype!
Nonetheless, I immediately del.icio.us-ed your post as it is a neat hop-along for anyone needing to set it up, too. Yeah. I could do it on my own but like you I spent time on it
Your nice and short little mini-how-to really helps recalling what to do in which order and what to download beforehand. So thanks for that! Your post is more valuable than you might think!
Greetings from a rainy and damp day in Munich, Germany, Steve.
