psh provides a very simply way to connect to the server and run PostScript
programs.  Usually these are NeWS programs that make windows for themselves.
As I said in my earlier message, if you send ordinary PostScript programs,
they draw on the background.

psview is also a front end for NeWS.  The difference is that it runs your
PostScript in a window and it handles showpage.  NeWS is still being used to
execute the PostScript and draw the output.

a painting, as a proscenium to a play.  It strongly defines its content."
