 You should be able to use a settransfer proc in a window context to create a
clut to do anything you want. You could make different settransfer procs for
different windows in one program. 
  Perhaps there is a way to also "settransfer" the DPS server globally. Maybe
DPS looks for and executes a file called Sys/Start, like other PostScript
interpreters with filesystems.
