How do you get Display Postscript to pause long enough so you can
look at what it's drawn?  I have DPS on a RS/6000, and I can run
my psroff (cat troff -2- postscript) piped into a program called
"dpsexec" (one of the DPS example programs - seems to be some sort
of frontend for the VM and comes with source), and see the output.

Unfortunately, it won't pause at the end of a page, and when it hits
the end of the file it simply erases the window...  So I have to
read real fast....

Any idears?  If it requires a change to the Postscript, does anybody
have a way for the postscript to tell by itself when run under DPS,
so that it automatically knows when to do the right thing?

thanks
