[pstricks] Background color for page.

[John Culleton]

Given plain tex and not latex or context, I want to color an entire page in 
a certain shade. Then I want to lay horizontal color bands over the page 
from margin to margin. Then I want to overlay the bands with text.  Think 
of a typical book cover layout for an example.  That is what I am 
attempting in plain tex and Pstricks. 

Lets start with step one. I can create a rectangle that is the same size as 
the page, with origin 0,0, and then color it with the background color.
But is there a better way?
