Sure -- I wasn't thinking about pst-xkey at all, because it isn't used 
in pstricks.tex (at least not the version on CTAN). Though upon further 
examination, the keys ARE named in a much more systematic way that I 
remembered. Not sure where my own confusion came from in learning the 
key system, then....

That will be very nice! Will it be available in the next month or so? I 
have plans to convert the pst-bar package to pst-xkey soon....
