James,
On the PowerBASIC BBS you'll find a utility called BIN2OBJ which will
take *any* binary file of up to 32750 bytes and create an .OBJ which can
be linked into your application.  You can then access the data as a
single string.
The included examples shows how to convert a .BIN file created using
TheDraw and link that into your application and POKE$ it onto the
screen.
