Try either:
1) Using the K key (which, if memory serves will include the
apple dict.)
or
2) Switch to system 7 which has a radio button print to a file.
(and automatically include the dict.)
or maybe even
3) Use ResEdit to uncover the "secret" Postscript File
checkbox in the system 6 laswerwriter driver.
(If I remember correctly, it is item 23 in the
print dialog -- just check the id's of all the
buttons etc and look for the missing number. The
checkbox itself is hidden in the upper left corner
of the print dialog. You will have to find somewhere
to put the checkbox, but there is some space towards
the bottom.) Note that it has been a couple of years
since I have done this hack, so my memory of the
exact procedure is somewhat faint (I really should
write down the things I find while working at 3 am....)
