Hmph. Since most of my PostScript programming has been relatively small (but not trivial), I have not been worrying about memory management issues. It's such a fun little language, even without the grafix ops! Seeing your light, I realize that this is probably the biggest drawback in the language. The dynamic lookup I can live with. This?
