Anyone have any experience adding new background patterns to Aldus
Freehand?  Freehand has a list of patterns (I can't remember them exactly,
but things like "coarse pebbles", "random leaves", "teeth", etc.) that are
described with postscript commands and can be used for background fills.
I investigated the postscript in the aldus prep file, and discovered what
*looked* like bit maps for these patterns -- but replacing them with new
bitmaps resulted in bizarre output.

So, does anyone with some postscript knowledge know how to create new fill
patterns?

Thanks,

--Walter
