What's wrong with using a computer First of all, the PS printer does not provide any kind of editor, with the exception of destructive backspace. That makes it tough to enter code directly in executive mode. In general, I use a editor to do the work. However, there is no substitte for being able to toggle into executive and watch and experiment with what things do. It's the simplest way to get a complex stack manipulation working. Cheers Woody
