I've seen some discussion of MacDraw bugs lately, and I'd like to make a
suggestion about one of them.  If you ahve ever moved text and graphics
together (grouped or ungrouped), you have had the unpleasant experience
of seeing the text 'drift' relative to the graphics.  Yuck!

The problem goes away if you turn the grid off (also not so nifty), but
IT ALSO GOES AWAY if you use 12 (or 24) divisions per inch.  I always,
always, always use 12 divisions per inch, and never have the problem.
