I am having trouble "pasting" to a view.  I use the method
	[pb readType:NXPostScriptPboard data:&data length:&length]
and when I print out 'data' to a file, sure enough, it is a bunch
of postscript code.  When I send the code to the postscript 
previewer 'YAP' I get what I want to be pasted.  However, I am
not sure what to do to send the postscript code to my view. I
am trying the following:
	[aView lockFocus];
 	DPSWritePostScript(DPSGetCurrentContext(), data, length);
	[aView unlockFocus];
And I get the error: (actually, I get it many times)
	DPS client library error: PostScript program error
	%%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: get ]%%

Any comments would be appreciated.
