I am looking for a program which will allow you to draw pictures and save the
drawing commands instead of the picture.  It would have to handle lines, arcs,
rectangles, color, and text.  Output in HPGL would be a real bonus.  Public
domain would be great as would source.  C source code to a program that allowed
the drawing would also be great as I could simply add my own file save routine.

And while I have your attention:
I don't have a printer but have access to a laser writer hooked up to a PC.
If I wanted to save screen snapshots and convert them to post script what
do I need to do?
