Back in the good old days of very low resolution printers, thickness
set to 1.0 worked very well on the screen and on paper. But, as all
our printers began to be "600 dpi" printers, everything got narrower
and narrower and fainter and fainter. Eventully, we just wrote a
couple of procedures: SETX and SETPS. Now, we just run SETPS before
writing to a *printing* Postscript file (*not* EPS!), write the
file, and then run SETX to get back to the screen.

If you are going to be creating hardcopies a lot, and from within
procedures, you may find this useful.
