But two different squares are drawn, appearing in different places on the page, the small dark blue one (pstverb)\pstverb{newpath 20 -20 moveto 40 0 rlineto 0 40 rlineto -40 0 rlineto 0 -40 rlineto 0.8 setgray fill }% \pstVerb{newpath 20 -20 moveto 40 0 rlineto 0 40 rlineto -40 0 rlineto 0 -40 rlineto 1 0.56 0 0 setcmykcolor fill }% (pstVerb) outside of the text area and the big grey square amidst this paragraph. The text ``(pstverb)(pstVerb)''{} is placed correctly at the current text position. However, the text afterwards is changed to blue used in the book ($1\,0.56\, 0\, 0\,$ as CMYKa color). Only a \black\verb+black+ command switches this back here. Additionally, two different-sized squares are drawn, which is a problem with the \verb+dvips+ program, because it does not reset all values properly. With V\TeX{} both squares are of equal size, but on different positions. \end{document}
