OK I have gs installed. Do I need to say something like
\openout18? If so what is what name do I assign to 18?
Does pdftex handle this high a number? I get a message
that says
-------------------------------------------------
pstricks : using indirect method; enable write18
--------------------------------------------
I tried the above code with a very simple PSTRICK, a word of text in
a circle.
I get this kind of error:
--------------------------------
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \startTEXapplication
[]{\usemodule [pstric]}\pspicture
(0,0)(10,0...
\secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2
l.71 \stopPSTRICKS
----------------------------
This message persists even if I just say \startPSTRICKS and
\stopPSTRICKS.
My version is
----------------------------------

Is this what I should see?
Sorry to be such a bother!
