Has anyone had any experience with DrawPerfect and a Deskjet?  I've heard
rave things about DrawPerfect from people with laser printers.  I need to
know what it will do with a Deskjet500 and monochrome VGA.  The software
dealer that I buy from here (CompUSA) doesn't sell deskjets and doesn't
know.  

My main area of need is in creating graphics for manuals, promo material,
etc rather than "electronic slide show".

After several disappointing software purchases, I hesitate to drop the
bucks on DrawPerfect without knowing what it will do.  I do know that PC
Paintbrush is destined to be wiped from my hard disk and into the garbage
as soon as I can decide on an alternative.  Even my rapidograph pens are
looking attractive...

Thanks for any advice on what sounds like a great package.  Anyone
recommend Harvard or Corel over DrawPerfect?  Why?
