By now, Kevin is probably up to his ears in replies that tell him to hit
"cloverleaf F" and Mac will save the output as "postscript".  (Of course
you gotta have the right drivers and install a non-existing laserwriter
as your printer.)

My problem is that the application that I want to use images several pages,
one at a time.  Since the same name is used each time it saves a PS file, you
only end up with one piece of the picture.

****** Is there a patch that allows you to specify the name of the postscript
file?  How about one that creates "postscript0" through "postscript9", like
the screen-shot control keys do?
