There's no doc that I can find in the 2.1 NeXTStep release (I'm not yet
running 3.0.  Loonngg story) that defines anything about the 
NeXTGraphic construction in their rtf files.  Anyone know the answers 
to these questions?

1) The NeXTGraphic control word takes a numeric parameter.  I've seen this
	with several different values (most commonly 0), but with noapparent
	meaning to this number.  What DOES it mean?
2) Outside the inner group in this construction, there's always a character.
	I've seen both , and <.  Again, there's no indication of what these
	mean.  (Example: {{\NeXTGraphic0 foo.eps \height2 \width2},}  )

I know that last character is necessary, but I can find no pattern to why one
character is in that position, rather than some other.

Thanks in advance for info, tips, or just hunches!
