  If you are allready getting PostScript(tm) to the framebuffer
you can open your own window with:

	/win framebuffer /new DefaultWindow send def
	/reshapefromuser win send
	/map win send
	win /ClientCanvas get setcanvas

  The comments for the four lines above might be:
	% Create a new instance of the class DefaultWindow

	% Send a message to the instance telling it to ask
	%   the user for where/how-big the window is to be

	% Display the instance on the screen

	% Get the canvas out of the instance and set it to
	%   be the default canvas

  Oh, you might do the middle two lines as:
	{reshapefromuser map} win send
though there might be some gripes about doing it that way.

  The rest of your your code will now display in the window.
