    I tried to incorporate a postscript figure in a LaTeX document today
using the \special{psfile="filename"} command. It ran through LaTeX and
DVIPS just fine, but when the output was printed, the figure was set in
the upper right hand corner of the page. It looks like it tried to use the
current position as coordinates 0,0 for the postscript figure. My question
is this: how can I reset the coordinates so the figure appears where I 
want it to?
