I am trying to write a postscript routine that will look into the
dictstack of the printer and print the names of all dictionaries.
From there I will print key/value pairs which seems easy enough.
I have tried using the DICTSTACK operator to get the dictionaries
into an array but when I try to print them using a CVS operator,
I get a --nostringval-- which I presume is correct after
reading the red book. 

Does anyone know how to print the name of a directory from the
dictionary stack?

			Thanks in advance
