I have some files in a MacDraw file which need to be included
in a LaTex document.  They are mostly graphs and a couple
of drawings.  I was told that if I pushed <command-F> while
holding down the print button in the Macdraw file that I would
get a postscript file.  The only problem is that I 
need some sort of a dictionary file which defines the variables.
Right now, I can't print out this file on my postscript printer. 
The header and first lines of the postscript form are as
follows:

If  anyone has any leads on where I can look or call for information,
I would really appreciate it.  I called Claris already, and they said
that this is a feature of the MacIntosh machine, and not of their     
product.
