Dumping Postscript to an external print queue would be nice. With a bit
of hackery on top of CommandShell/OSProcess, it could be implemented as:
aMorph asPostscript pipeTo: 'lpr'
Does OSProcess work on OS/X? and does OS/X use a unixy sort of print
queueing system? If so, I'll volunteer to do the CommandShell hack.
