Wait until you see a message saying that the file >is not sent to a printer. (I get the message: "Why don't you buy a >Postscript printer?" -- is this a joke from Apple?) Then release the keys. This does not work with MacDraw II. If you do this on MacDraw II, then after you release the mouse button, the command-F is sent to MacDraw, so the "Arrange" menu title hilights. Presumably MacDraw is arranging the layers of my document for me. I claim this is a bug in MacDraw, but Claris has not yet admitted it. In order to creat a Postscript document using this method with MacDraw II, you click OK normally, wait for the window "Printing pages 1 to 10" (or whatever), then immediatly hold down command-F (or simply F). Of course a better solution is ResEditing the Laserwriter file to show the check-box. -- Gerald A.
