You were awfully close.  It's just plain F.  No command, shift, or anything
else.  When you get the LaserWriter Print dialog, hold down F while you
click OK.  It'll be saved in the current folder as "PostScript[0..9]",
so you can print up to 9 postscript files to disk before you have to quit
and rename them.

alternately, you can hold down K, and it'll print them, including
Apple's PostScript initialization header.  If you'll be using the file
on an Apple printer or compatible, then this is what you'd want to do;
if you're porting to a UNIX or something, then just hit F.
