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....)
