OK, I tried "latex pstricks.tex" but it didn't work (hangs at a '*'
prompt). Sorry if this is the wrong file to generate the documents (I am a
total newb). In general I would like to see what functions a package
implements. For example, in the below do you use the geometry package to
get the "\rotateleft" function? I would rather be able to look this up
than to ask further dumb questions :)

Thank you! 

How come you used rotateleft instead of 'begin{landscape}'? Is is as broad
as it is long?
