When using a PostScript-importing command in eroff (such as .cS), is there a
way to make troff interpret a variable that is inserted into the PostScript
code segment.  I tried to do this, but apparently troff will strictly ignore
anything in the code. Does anyone know how to get around this to insert (for
example) \n% as the current page number?
