No, PostScript is not a previewer language, but a printing language. There is
no notion of commands in a PostScript interpreter to skip around by pages,
etc. Maybe you want to use (or maybe you meant?) GhostView, which IS a
previewer that uses Ghostscript as its basic engine. Ghostview comes with
documentation, so there should be no need to address questions on the kind you
were asking in a net-wide forum such as this. Regards --
