- Probably by using a graphics tablet. A cheaper option would be a pen
- style mouse I suppose. I generally just use Brilliance and the
- coordinates. I agree, a background grid and side and top rules would be a
- nice thing. Btw, FinalWriter has a nice array of drawing function and is
- ruled, if that is any help.

- Good luck!
