Is there any way to export Excel 3.0 .XLC or .XLT files to .WPG format, or
some other format that I can use in WordPerfect...?

You cannot export to .PIC using Excel, but I can't seem to export to anything 
else...

Pardon my ignorance about version numbers, but Excel 3.0 does run
under Windows, doesn't it (there isn't a non-Win version? Or is there?)
Anyway, I've pasted from version 2.1 of the Excel "Working Models" demo
(which is a wonderful tool for a quick graphic, etc.) to Paintbrush via
the clipboard.  Then I saved the Paintbrush file in .PCX format, and 
picked it up directly in WP.  Works perfectly.

Install an HP Plotter as one of your printers and print to a file.
Wordperfect does support HPGL images as a graphic import format.  (And can
print them on a basically any graphics-capable printer.)
