I've been trying to include figures in slitex, similarly to how I include
them in latex. I use xfig to generate them, transfig -L epic to convert them
to tex, and then with to include them in my slitex files. Unfortunately
problems crop up.

1. Slitex does not appear to have a \begin{figure} environment like latex-
is there some way I can add one? (I know almost nothing about tex macros and
such). Maybe someone out there has done  it already?

2. If I do:
	\begin{center}
	\input{fig/window}
	\end{center}
to include my figure slitex has a tendency to try to barf on any text in the
figure (I can keep pressing return and it will get through it alright- but
the text will come out at some default font size it seems). Presumably this
is related to problem 1.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, I will summarize and post.
