[plt-scheme] Error on DrScheme 301

Got it. I just re-read your original message two more times: the 
hangman teachpack includes all the functionality of the draw teachpack. 
We wanted to make it simple for the teachers and students back then 
(103) so we merged the draw.ss teachpack into hangman.ss.

SO: use the hangman teachpack only and draw away in your canvas as much 
as you wish.
