I have the following section of code that will
place the word preliminary digonally across 
a document.  

%==================
gsave
initgraphics
.99 setgray
150 100 moveto
/Helvetica-Bold findfont 100 scalefont setfont
55 rotate
(PRELIMINARY) show
grestore
%==================

I would like very much to force this to be 
behind all text and objects in a document.

The only way that I know how to do this is
to place this section of code within the document
in such a way that it is processed first.  This
is rather hit or miss.

Is there a command in PostScript to force a section
of code to be printed behind all other code? 

Thanks,
