I converted Joe's StrongED DrawScript Mode to the new scheme of things some
time ago. The original has an old style Choices saved as Data, these day
Choices are in plain text. 

The new Mode is indeed renamed as "Draw", the "!" is dropped.

The Draw.ModeWhen file is :-

Rules Include
! b9b,**
End

In Mode Choices -> Misc the 'Default filetype' should be set to B9B. Other
Choices may need attention but I think StrongED would default to sensible
values.
