Not according to the stuff I received. How about

        erasepage
        0 1.5 translate
        do_it_all_again

Come on Adobe - you people read this board: is there any value
in having the PostScript OUTPUT model in an interactive
environment where the intermediate screen displays are of much
more value that the final result? How do you scroll a text
screen? How do you find out if the cursor is pointing at the
object you have just drawn?  If you are going to be high and
mighty about Sun NeWS, perhaps you have answers to the problems
it is trying to address.
