In addition to the other suggestions that Henry provided, I can't
resist a plug for my forthcoming book from Addison-Wesley,
"Thinking in PostScript".  If you're a C programmer who knows little
or nothing about PostScript, then you're exactly the target audience.
If you're already a pretty good PostScript programmer, you're part of
the secondary audience.  My hope is also that even Henry and Woody and
the seasoned experts will find something of value in there somewhere.

It's not exactly a beginner's guide, but it provides some very
fundamental concepts like loops, variables, conditionals, and file
I/O in pretty good detail.

It should be out in a week or two, according to my spies.

Sorry about the plug.
