My previous message was .... incorrect.  The basic idea is this: before
being passed off to the various mumblecommands, the source file is first
converted to troff (possibly with embedded Postscript) and place in
/tmp/%s.n, where %s is filename minus the extension.  So, you start with
troff.

My previewcommand:

previewcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | eqn | psroff -t | ghostview -; rm /tmp/%s.n

Your formatcommand:

formatcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | eqn -Tpsc | psdit | lpr -Ppsb115; rm /tmp/%s.n
