UIC cutbefore BSLOPE cutafter UH
runs the wrong way, try
draw z0 -- z1 -- ( UOC cutbefore BSLOPE cutafter UH ) -- z2 --
z3 -- z4 -- z5 -- z6 -- z7
-- reverse ( UIC cutbefore BSLOPE cutafter UH )
;
Personally I'd save the contents of the two ()'s as their own paths, then t=
hey are easier to manipulate and investigate.

Subject: MetaPost paths
Hello, I have attached the program test.mp<http://test.mp/> that draws
the path correctly but then adds one additional/unwanted
line z7-- z0 . The program is attached below.
Comments, help etc. all welcome.
