Hmm, yes, I *have* saved metafiles and subsequently edited them in EASYDRAW. 
So, it can be done!

All I can offer now is this tidbit (previously posted, did you see it?):

| The README file on the LDW Power master disk sez:
| 
| "Font files and device drivers must be located in the directory indicated by
| the path statement (in the ASSIGN.SYS file). When you attempt to save or
| print the graph and, the system cannot find this directory, you will get a
| message: 'Cannot open workstation'."
| 

Somehow, LDW Power can't find the directory specified in your ASSIGN.SYS. I
looked at the file you posted and didn't see anything obviously wrong. Are
you sure that G+Plus is pointing to the right ASSIGN.SYS for LDW?
