Thanks!

I was wondering if it were possible to even enable the user to define
his own boxes for pages using postscript.

It is almost trivial in postscript to draw ones own shadow or curved
boxes in every possible colour.  More interesting, and difficult, would
be to define a path instead of a box, and to write text around that
path.  For example, instread of stroking (sorry, postscript-speak) a
curved box, we could write "This is a box" repeatedly around it.
Presumably, size parameters would then have to be made known to lout,
namely the thickness and positioning.

Cheers,
Mike
