	I have an Apple IIGS running AWGS. I would like to scan in a 
	coloring book page, load it into the paint module and let the
	kids "fill" the objects. Here's the problem I'm having:

	Background....

	1. Scan in the page and store in Mac PICT format.

	2. Use "Apple File Exchange" to translate to Apple PICT.

	3. Took the disc home and tried to load it into the paint module.
	   AWGS didn't recognize the file type therefore was not
	   seen as being available. The file type was set to $00. In
	   looking at the file type of a AWGS paint file it was $50(bin).

	  
	My question.....

	Is there a "reasonable" way to convert the Macintosh PICT format 
	to an Apple PICT format AND have it loadable by the paint module? 
	Maybe use a different format?

					Thanks,

					Larry
