There are at least two draw programs for the IIgs (in addition to the
AppleWorks GS draw/paint module).  The first is Draw Plus by
Activision/Mediagenic, a fairly old program that is probably no longer
supported.  The second is Beagle Bros' Beagle Draw (formerly Top Draw by
StyleWare).  This is a powerful, reliable program, and Beagle Bros' support is
top-notch.
