        The following is a routine for listing the content
of a dictionary (in the example :systemdict),which I thought
would be useful for someone (I remembered someone asking for
this somewhile ago) .
Just change systemdict with any dictionary you like ($error,
userdict ...)
        The displaystack routine is a routine for printing out
the content of opstack destructively.
Have fun
