Hi, saw your post and thought I might reply.  I teach in a middle school 
computer lab, ages 12-14.

My students love to work with graphics programs and include them with other 
work they do in class.  
 
Currently we are using NeoPaint, a shareware DOS drawing program, on a trial 
basis.  I am going to try to purchase a site license for the program--it is 
the only professional DOS program left on the market here. Students also have 
the use of Linkway, an IBM presentation package, however it is complicated to 
use and graphics do not convert to other formats readily.  I am thinking 
about putting NeoBook on the network, it is a DOS presentation package.  We 
have a hand scanner that was donated to the school to scan in the drawings, I 
save the drawings and convert them to PCX formatand from there the students 
can edit them or put them in WordPerfect 5.1.
 
I am going to install NeoPaint on the art teacher's computer so we can work 
with the students on projects.
 
Is this what you wanted hear about?
