Problem: How to convince the LaserWriter to draw finer width
lines between points.

I am able to print the LW from within a LightspeedC application program,
and Quickdraw does its thing just fine, except a pensize of (1,1) (which
I understand to be the smallest Quickdraw understands) gives a line on
the LW which is much thicker than 1 (300 dpi) pixel. Interestingly 
I can capture the Postscript output of the program, go in and change
the line "1 1 pn" to ".1 .1 pn" and the output will have thinner lines.
How can I control this parameter from within the program.?
