[texworks] Insert garphic

[Alain Delmotte]

Agree with both of you, but if  a topic -is- included in the program, I 
expect it to work consistently.

I did know about this graphics inclusion "facility" (and won't probably 
use it) but if it is there it should work!
For inclusion of a graphic I would not use a macro, but the 
auto-completion system (incg) which includes the whole structure.
