Summary: You don't ask for much, do you? :-)...


The current (//e) version of Multiscribe is memory limited.  The //gs
version is shipping, but has a little note in it that says that this
isn't the REAL version of Multiscribe for the //gs, it will be sent to
you when finished.  Mouse write is a good program but you may not like
it because it used mousetext characters on the text screen rather than
the graphics screen, so importing graphics will be difficult, if not
imposwsibleODible.  ODOsible.  Graphic Writer has gotten good reviews.  It combines drawing
and writing in one package, it is said to be slow how, however.  Tass Times in 
in Tone Town is a good game for kids.  I has passable graphics, mouse
support and some sound mixed in.  Paintworks Plus is a nice Macpaint-
like drawing program.  It has a few bugs that I'm sure will be ironed
out.  Deluxe Paint II is more powerful, but more complex (It will be released
Real Soon Now).  Paintworks can make drawings larger than the screen,
but not larger than a page.  Top draw will make drawings larger than the page and is object oriented.
and is object oriented,  I have only seen beta releases but it appears
to be about like MacDraw in complexity.
