In PostScript, how do you nuke the current point, making no other
changes to the graphics state?

The situation is this: I have part of a path already constructed and
I'd like to add an "arc" segment without the line leading from the
current point to the arc.

In NeWS, "closepath" (which I happened to need anyway) gets rid of the
current point, but on a LaserWriter the current point seems to be
unaffected.

Any suggestions?
