Gents,

How would you find out the NAMES of dictionaries on dictstack?

There is no connection between an object and its name (except in
PSAlter).  An object may have no name at all 

10 dict begin

or it may have multiple names

/x 10 dict begin def /y x def y begin

possibly in multiple dictionaries.

You can search known dictionaries looking for the object, and hope to
find it. But you might not!

That's what I suspected but hoped that some clever people
knew better. A pity.

Have a nice Xmas and Happy New Year, Aandi
