Does anyone have information on recent versions of the LaserPrep
dictionary supplied with version 6 or later of the Macintosh System software.
Specifically, There seems to be a problem when doing a postscript dump with
the Command-K feature and then trying to send this code via a serial
line or even with SendPS. 

For those curious why we are doing this is that we have created MacDraw 
documents on the Mac, we dump the PostScript and then wish to use this 
PostScript on PC versions of Word - but it is not working - a quick scan
of the LaserPrep code seemed to reveal code that shutdown the serial
port on the LAserWriter. Is that the problem? 

Apologies for not doing a bit more work on this first myself but ...
