Possibly Stupid Question #1:

What's the easiest way to get command line arguments to a NeWS application
written entirely in PostScript? Given that the first line of the application
file is "#! /usr/openwin/bin/psh", I'd like to be able to invoke it as

    application arg1 arg2 ...

Since the man entry for psh says all args to it are files sent to the server,
I can't see an obvious way to make this work. Am I missing something obvious?

Probably Not So Stupid Question #2:

Has anyone seen any documentation for the protocol for supporting the drag&drop
stuff from the File Manager to application windows? Again, I'd like to support
this in a PostScript-only application. The only (maybe) reference I can find is the 
ACTION_DRAG_LOAD event in back of the XView manual. Is there a corresponding event
in the NeWS input model? I have RTFM(s), honest.
