            Ok this came up at Dizzy Dugout.  Spry and I could not find anything in the rule book to specify an answer.  I figured the experts here could help us out.
  When moving diagonally do you take a straight path from one square to the next or do you actually take a one over and up path?  The reason I ask is that by moving diagonally I was able to avoid an AOO whereas if I had to move over one way then down I actually moved into an adjacent square.
  Does that make sense without a visual?

            A diagonal move is from one square directly to another - it is actually a good way to avoid AoOs sometimes.  The exception is around a corner - you cannot diagonally move past a corner.

            a diagonal move is moved diagonally.

            I believe you move straight from one square to the next.  Note: you can't do this around corners of walls, then you would have to move one up, and one over.
