!P.S. (no pun intended) Are there any PC type programs that will allow you!
     to save the postscript file of your job?              ----

Do shift-f7, and go into "Select Printer" and select a postscript
printer (many should be listed in your printer disks - Apple Laserwriter/
Laserwriter Plus/ NT/NTX etc etc.  When it asks you to choose from
LPT1, COM1 etc. say "Other" and specify a filename for WP5.0 to store
it's output to.

Many programs in the PC world allow you to capture the output into a file;
sometimes the method is not well-documented.  If you have a specific
question about some software, send me email.
