Hello,

Sometimes I read on this list about 'magical dictionaries' in NeWS.
What is it ? Is it a NeWS feature or pure PostScript? How can it be
used? Is there any documentation about in the manuals or in
/usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/*.ps?

Another thing I don't understand (but maybe related) is the ampersand
usage in class.ps:

    /&tempdict 15 dict def
    /&sendbinding /send load cvlit def
    /methodcompile { % method parentdict => newmethod
    //&tempdict begin

Is there a NeWS magician who can help me?


Wim.
