I am having difficulty with a NeWS program designed to show Encapsulated
PostScript art onto a specific position on the screen. There is one
problem I have encountered, however. The NeWS server gives a timeout error
if the server spends too long processing a command. In particular, if one
uses any of the commands such as 'for', 'forall', 'pathforall', 'loop',
'repeat', etc. a timeout error occurs and the NeWS process is terminated.

I run the EPS art as follows:

	(FileToRun.eps) run

and I have placed 'pause' commands in all of the loop-type of structures
('for', 'loop', 'repeat', etc.) in my program. Does anyone know how I
may add 'pause' commands to the end of these loop structures in the EPS
file while I run it? (NOTE: I do not want to get involved with parsing the
EPS file.)
