AWGS actually can load up separate palettes.  It is just that the first
palette it loads becomes the palette for all subsequent pictures it loads.
Some sample palettes came with the AWGS disks.  It only works in
640 dithered-16 mode though.  If you are printing from a laser printer,
using the draw tools will make scalable Quickdraw II graphics that
print at a high quality than any paint programs like PW Gold or Plat.
Paint.  It only makes sense...AWGS draw images were meant to be
used in the DTP module (and you have to scale them vertically to make
them print at the right aspect ratio...not a problem with a QD II image).
