Comments
PAL does not actually print any images onto the physical page until it receives the showpage
operator. The programmer sends the showpage operator to inform PAL that the interpreter has
received all drawing orders for the current page. Since no more drawing will occur on the current
page, PAL may now print the various images previously received.
By default, the showpage operator prints only a single page. The programmer may use the
_showpages operator to instruct PAL to print multiple copies of a single page image.
Once PAL has printed the page, it automatically performs erasepage and initgraphics op-
erations.
