In 0.8, I found Yap very useful because if one fed it a postscript program
which, for example, rotated a triangle around one of its vertices one degree
at a time, 360 times, Yap would show you the triangle run around and fill up a
circle (with a rather nice moire pattern at that).
   Much to my disappointment, the 0.9 Yap waits until the program has entirely
executed and then puts the final result on the screen. This is no fun to watch,
 and, for a postscript beginner like myself, it makes writing graphics stuff in
 postscript much harder, since one can't see the various stages of one's progra
m successively execute. Is there any way to restore the 0.8 feature?
