My program creates a picture that includes some plain, center-justified,
single-spaced text.  This picture is then pasted into the scrap (Clipboard).
Then I open MacDraw 1.9.5 and paste the picture into an empty document.  When
I select the the text and look at the appropriate menu, there is a command
symbol next to center justified instead of a checkmark.  The other items,
plain, single-spaced, font, and font size all have checkmarks like they should.
Anyone know what could cause this?

P.S.  A hint or reminder:  When you paste into the scrap under MultiFinder and
it's not in response to a user-initiated cut or copy, you still have to call
SystemEdit for a cut or copy to let MultiFinder know you're changing the scrap.
It took me a while to figure out that one.
