A NOVICE (me) is having problems attempting to underline text in a
nroff-to-ps filter I am writing.

                       40 740 moveto
                       (Very )show
                       /Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
underline also --->    (few words are used)show
                       /Courier findfont 12 scalefont setfont
                       ( in these lines.)show
                       
What I would really like to have is is a function that is "/BeginUnderline",
and another that is "/DoUnderline" such that I would invoke /BeginUnderline
just before the phrase, and /DoUnderline just after the phrase.

Can anyone give a suggestion as how this should be done??

Thankyou......               tony....
