*SURPRISE!*

It actually does work!  Make sure you go into the control panel under
"Alphabet" and set keyboard translation to standard, not none.  This
will also allow you to use the special characters you get when you 
type option+character.

For some reason, my keyboard translation always gets reset to
"none" so I must enter the control panel and reset it, perhaps
this is a bug... I'm not sure.

QUICK NOTE ON AWGS GRAPHICS MODULE:

I just tried it and it is a true, honest-to-God, draw program.  I made
the round object so squashed that it appeard to be broken apart, and
when I printed it, it was smooth.  


Hope this stuff helps!!
