I need a strategy for printing polygons with an arbitrary number of
vertices.  Currently, I just put all the coordinates on the stack
and pop them off as I draw them.  However, the number of vertices
that can be drawn is limited by the number of elements that can appear
on the stack at one time.

So I guess the question comes down to how do I deal with a very large
number of parameters to a function?

Thanks,
