No no no!  If you have complicated drawings in a big document, the last thing
you want to do is cut & paste for every change.  [Ok, I'm biased; I always
thought cut & paste was a pain, electronic or not.]

Actually, I would assume (silly me) that the drawing environment segmented out
nicely, so it wouldn't help very much to remove it.

Now if it could only do "smart" drawings ala Design...  Who knows, a year from
now FullWrite might be the first to break the 2 Mb barrier.
