I'm trying to write a very simple little application that has a custom
view in it that displays some PostScript.  I've threaded the thing
together with the IB, and the drawSelf method for the view is getting
executed, but nothing happens in the window.  Here's some of the code
for the CustomView:

-drawWindow:sender
{
	[self display];
	return (self);
}

-drawSelf:(NXRect *)r:(int)count
{
	putchar ('\007');
	fflush (stdout);

	PSsetgray (11.0 / 12.0);

	PSrectfill (bounds.origin.x, bounds.origin.y,
		    bounds.size.width, bounds.size.height);

	...

	return (self);
}

I hookup up a menu item to the drawWindow method, and every time I
push the button, I hear the beep (putchar ('\007')) but nothing
changes in the window.  Am I missing something somewhere?
