I am trying to include a PostScript figure inside a floating keep, using
Elan's eroff as,

    Some introductory text about the Figure,
    .(z
    .hl
    .cS figure.ps 5i 3i
    Figure Title Text
    .hl
    .)z
    and some more text afterwards.

The problem is that the PostScript figure is placed at the point where it
is encountered in input (that is, it appears immediately following the word
"Figure,"), wihle everything else (the .hl horizontal lines and the "Figure
Title Text") are floated appropriately.

I've tried using the \! operator before the .cS command, but it still
interpolates the PostScript in the wrong place.

Any suggestions?
