here's one for the postscript gurus:

the fall 1990 next software and peripherals catalog, page 229, shows
that displaytalk has a dictionary stack browser.  the browser column on the 
right shows the dictionary stack with a list of dictionaries...

is there an easy way of doing this?  how is it possible to find the names
of all the dictionaries on the dictionary stack.  i can think of one way, but
it is such a horrible brute force method that i wouldn't dare code it.
i have looked through the adobe red (well, orange and white) book to no avail.
have i missed something simple?

i know that there is sufficient postscript expertise on comp.sys.next
to answer this one...  but if not, i'll toss it over to comp.lang.postscript.
