I am having trouble with PostScript when using certain escape sequences (\).
The ones that don't work for me are \b, \r, and \n.  Also, when I print a
multi-line string, it all ends up on one line.  I have looked in numerous
PostScript books (including pages 22 - 24 of the red book - possibly first
addition, copyright 1985).  I'd like to know if anyone else has had this
problem, and if so how it was solved.  Or, if anyone knows the solution to my
mystery.

Thanks in advance for the help!
      
The following is my file and the results.
