Let (S,d) a multi-point connected metric space.
Is there a multi-point path connected subspace of S?

Can you provide the definition of multipoint connected?

Let (S,d) a multi-point connected metric space.
Is there a multi-point path connected subspace of S?

Can you provide the definition of multipoint connected?

Multipoint mean has more than one point.
Connected means there are no clopen sets but 
the empty set and the space itself.

As it turns out, Cantor's leaky tent or teepee
in Stien's "Counterexamples in Topology". is
an example negating the question.

I presume that William's question amounts to the following:
does a connected metric space with more than one point
necessarily have a path-connected subset with more than
one point?

Ok if you are asking if there is an example of a metric space which is
connected, and at the same time is also totally path disconnected, then
I suspect the knaster-kuratowski fan space will suffice.  It is known
to be connected, and I suspect it is totally path disconnected as well,
though I haven't done the legwork yet. Does this work?
