I've been told (I don't manually write postscript) that postscript only
supports the COPY mode.

This seems to be a problem with the way DeltaGraph places the graph on the 
clipboard.  Canvas seems to think its a picture object, not a PICT.  The
problem is a little different if you try to paste it into MacDraw II.  It
will say that pasting a PICT2 may cause a loss of some color data.  It does,
however, paste the graph without an opaque background, i.e. other objects
will show through.  So, I guess you could use MacDraw II, or paste them 
first into MD and then copy them into Canvas.  Since I vastly prefer 
Canvas, that's what I'd do.
