I nominate this one for the FAQ list as well, but I'll be happy to supply 
the answer.

First you use GROB2TIF.EXE (from HP) to convert the grob to a TIFF file,
which most PC programs can use.  Then you use a $99 commercial program called
Hijaak (yes, that's the correct spelling) to convert to any other graphics
format in the world.  It'll even do .IMG files, which I think will let me
port the graphics over to my 1040ST!
