When is it useful to implement additional stacks?  What characteristics
of a programming problem suggest that multiple stacks would be a good
solution?

More specifically, when applying Forth to graphics, would it be useful
to use imitate the stacks that PostScript uses?  Would it be useful to
create even more stacks for specific classes of operations?
