Tilgman, 

Have you _actually tried this_ from a non GSOS application?  If so, how do
you put the Deskwriter into External Rendering on a //e, from (say)
AppleWorks 4?   

I have been under the long-held impression that the external rendering
option was available only from a GSOS driver.  The biggest obsacle I can
see is that the original poster doesn't have a IIgs.
