I believe there was a routine included with a shareware library product 
alled
DWSCRN (Davis Ware??) that could convert a binary file (which THEDRAW will 
output to) to a string of characters which can then be included in any PB3X 
program.  The screen created with this then could be called using one of the 
library routines which included a variety of ways to put text on the screen 
such as fades, horizontal and vertical splits, etc.  If this sounds like what 
you want let me know
and I can get more details.   I think Compuserv has the DWSCRN online
and there may be other sources others in this echo can recommend.
