I would love to answer these questions myself, but lacking the documentation
(for now?) I will ask you who know a bit more.

Is NEWS a superset of Postscript?  If I have a reasonable program in
Postscript that drew a pretty picture, could I feed it to NEWS and have
it draw a pretty picture?

How does NEWS handle events and interactive stuff?  What is done to
support me in building spiffy stuff in a jiffy?  Does it have a model
of interaction as with, for example, Smalltalk-80's Model-View-Controller.

Please tell me about what makes NEWS *special* - I'm favorably
predisposed to it for some reason and I'd like to know more.

Mike
