In terms of scaling, if you want to keep the aspect ratio, about all I can

the column (or maybe a smidgen less).


Paul,

  Ta-da! Experimentation to the rescue. I took off the keepaspectratio and
changed the dimension from height to width. _Now_ they're readable. Whew!

  Learning the idiocyncracities of beamer and pstricks simultaneously, and
the intersect of the two, became rather mind boggling. But, now I think that
I have a handle on both of those.

Thanks for all the help,

Rich

I've had similar adventures.  As you foretold earlier, all this stuff 
becomes reasonably logical after the fact.  Beamer produces great 
output, and the manual is great, but somehow I'm always twisting my 
ankle in a 'chuck hole along the way.  Just remember, repetition is the 
sincerest form of efficiency, or something like that.
