Hi everybody !

I'm a final year student at Edinburgh University and as part of my final
year project I am using NeWS to build up a document composition system.
Alas, I'm new to NeWS and the NeWS manual does seem to be rather sketchy,
especially when it comes to using the CPS interface.

Having had a look at the stuff that is floating around in this newsgroup
I think that someone out there will be able to help me.

Point 1 : How can I control the litewin.ps and litemenu.ps packages through
          the CPS interface - especially, how do I get notification to the
          C program that something is happening ?

Point 2 : This may be trivial, but when I create an overlay for the purposes
          of rubber-banding, using the getclick family of operators, I can
          never get the overlay to disappear again. What is happening and 
          how should it be done ?

If these points have already been raised in the past then I will be happy to
receive direct e-mail from anybody who can answer any part of the above
queries.

As they say: When the going gets tough, I get the hell out of it !
