        "I'd like that also" :-)

        I have a postscript document that was created on a Sun system,
        using FrameMaker.  I can ftp it to a Mac SE and put it into
        MSWord.  But I can't get it to create the document on a Laserwritter.
        When I try to print it, it prints the PS code, but not the
        document itself.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

								Thanks,
