Keep in mind that Lasertalk is just a friendly front end for your
printer.  It lets you type in commands, look at the stack, browse
dictionaries (!) and preview output, but the printer is doing all
the work.  Apparently, they got Adobe to add rasterization hooks
to the language, so they dump bitmaps down the serial line (ugh).
It is NOT a PostScript interpreter.
