I'm calling GhostScript 2.41 from within other programs, so
GhostScript should not issue any text if everything goes fine.
Unfortunately, using the following

   gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=dfaxhigh -sOUTPUTFILE='fax.%d' file.ps

still generates the 'GS>' prompt on stdout. Is there a way to avoid
this?  Shouldn't NOPAUSE do it? This is what history.doc says:

	"Adds a new NOPAUSE flag to suppress the prompt and pause at
	copypage and showpage."

I noticed that the 'GS>' text is defined in 'gs_init.ps', function
'prompt'. Thanks for any help.
