I think that once you get over the initial problems (like having windows
over where you are drawing) that the psh environment is perfect for
learning PostScript; that is exactly what I did.  I needed a jump start
from a friend, but after that it was really great to see my results directly.
So I vote for using psh under NeWS as a GREAT way to learn pure PostScript;
you don't need to know very much NeWSisms at all.
