Jim,
   You are not the only one experiencing wierdness with Appsoft Draw 
and pasting into documents.  I exported a drawing object to EPS and 
then tried to import it into a TeX document.  While the file does 
import, the size is really hosed.  In the past, I have edited the 
EPS Bounding Box and put in a 0.5 0.5 scale after all of the setup 
section and experienced no trouble.  In this case, TeX may have 
computed the spacing correctly, but the PostScript that came up in 
TeXView was probably twice as large as it should have been.  I went 
and checked the PostScript in Preview and it looked as though it were 
scaled by 0.5.  I am not sure what's going on.  It could be something 
with the change to 3.0. I recall that the epsffile for 2.1 was messed 
up compared to the 1.0 version.  I don't have a solution, but I will
test the Appsoft draw import ability in to the 2.0 version of TeX soon
and let people know.
