Yes, it is true that much of the problem deals with knowing your language and dealing with the dynamic scoping. But remember that since your PostScript program may well be included into other people's PostScript programs, or include other people's programs, a bit more care must be taken than just understanding and working around the language limitations. How many BASIC or Pascal programs have to worry about their variable namespace or resources being stepped on by other BASIC programs? -tom
