Hi,
	I've just bought an IBM 386 PC and I want to transfer "draw" 
docaments and "WriteNow" documents to Word For Windows.  Does anybody
know how I can do this??

For WriteNow, save the documents in Rich Text Format (RTF).  W4W deals
acceptably with RTF.  To transfer the other way around, save as RTF
in W4W and open in either WriteNow or Edit.App on the NeXT.

As for Draw documents, you can *HOPEFULLY* (I don't have Draw) save
Draw files as EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) which W4W will *HOPEFULLY*
be able to place in your document.

How could it?  Windows can't image arbitrary postscript programs, and there's
not necessarily a bitmap representation available.
