A minute after getting frustrated and sending the message below, I 
discovered ToBoxes[g] which seems to do what I need. I think I just 
discovered a bit of V6 eloquence.

Gentleman,
I have an application that creates a new notebook, and builds up a
report in the new notebook. In V5, I've been getting graphics into the
notebook cells using
  Cell[GraphicsData["PostScript", DisplayString[g]], "Graphics"]
where g is some Mathematica graphic.( I got this approach from a tutorial at the
conference). What is the V6 equivalent. In other words, how to I use
NotebookWrite to put a graphic into a cell of a different notebook. I
suspect the approach is very different since "PostScript" is no longer
the native format.
