Bob,
The drain bolt/screw points downward and is down there by the pinch
bolt. The head of the bolt/screw is pretty big and is not recessed. You'll
slap your forehead once you see it...;-}

Paul, Bruce and Ray, Thanks, that is even more helpful. Those little
details about taking down the forks are necessary for me. BTW, I just
checked and I can't see, or feel, the drain plug at the end of the fork
legs. I just see the pinch bolt at the very bottom of the forks. Bob

There is also a drain screw at the bottom of each fork leg. Remove this so
you can flush the leg out properly. You will need a fiber washer for it on
reassembly. You will also need the correct tool or a home made one to pull
the tube back up into the trees on reassembly.
