I did not post that. Well, if I include pstcol, the file does not even
compile. Here is the error I get:

This I noticed even before the item problem. I cannot use the
definecolor to define new colors. This has been mentioned in the
Graphics Companion which does not work. Later found out that in prosper,
I should not include pstcol, but use \newrgbcolor to define my colors.
