Hey, thanks much, Freek, for finding that hidden gem of
some nameless apple programmer.  I've incorporated it into
myPageSetup 1.2 program, which now will put a _visible_
"Disk File" check box on your Laserwriter job dialog.  Now
you all can forget about this command-F jive and just click
the box when you want a postscript file of your print job.
  I've mailed "my-page-set-12.hqx" to infomac archives.  If some
kind soul wants to echo it to comp.binaries.mac for me, or tell
me how to post there, we'll get it passed around.
