Use print... instead, when the dialogue box appears hold down C-f
while you click on OK, It works, I did it yesterday, the resulting
ps file is now cheerfully imbedded in a UN*X file, as always background
printing must be off and ---NO OBJECT MAY BE SELECTED--, if any
portion of the drawing is selected Draw II tries to interpret the
C-f as move to front and sits there waiting for you to release
the OK button so it can do it.  Also hold down C-f until the "creating ps
file" message appears in a dialogue box.
