Well I went and tried it again and it does work in points mode, don't 
remember what I did wrong the first time but all you need to do is use it 
as you would normally, except in points mode. Select the points you want 
to modify and if you have your deformTool ready just go to the Funtions 
Menu and select Deform Tool. If you want to use it on a subgroup you 
would just have to go into points mode and select from the pick/select 
menu Pick Subgroup and tell it what points you want to change, 
interior,boundry, or all points, and then use the Deform Tool on those 
points...you will probably have to play with it a bit to get it to do 
what you want..but it does work...
