Now that I've established the proper forum for postscript
questions (thanks to the 200,000 replies to prior question)...

We're running SunOS 4.1 with OpenLook 2.0 window manager.

I want to modify the OpenLook init.ps file so that I can
check the value of an environment variable (in postscript
language of course) and take appropriate action. 

Something along the lines of:

(1) get value of env variable (e.g. LOGO)

(2) if (LOGO == 1) 

        run some post-script file

    else
    
        continue on

Not knowing post-script and not finding any sample post-script
code in the ~openwin directory that does something like this, I
was hoping for some suggestions...
