Thanks for the additional educational references.
It always helps understanding to look at several sources
explaining the same thing.

And someone else suggested
  http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/graphics/manual/
which I also found quite useful and readable (at least for me,
at my level of knowledge and with my particular background and
interests).

Thanks, luser -- Green, Red, and Blue books I knew of already,but White was
new to me -- thanks for that ... and to spare others getting spammed by the
more scammy of the DL sites google might suggest, let me offer a clean one:

<http://ebooks.elportal.info/Addison%20Wesley%20-%20Thinking%20In%20Postscript.pdf>.

Oh: and "still.ps" doesn't seem to be part of this White book, AFAI (or my
PDF reader's Find utility) CT.

Cheers, -- tlvp

Sorry for the misdirection. I found a copy in the archive here.
It may not be the newest version.

Hoo-oui! Thanks for that link, straight from "the horse's mouth." But gosh,
Google Groups is really going out of its way to be obnoxious, isn't it?
Hiding headers? offering ridiculously broken links (to http://still.ps, to
http://prog.ps)? They following the "embrace, extend, and ultimately ruin"
footsteps of their arch-enemy MS? Gee, whiz!
