I posted the orginal question, I think about postscrpt files.  Actually,
Your dealer is right, even though he is probably incompetent as most Apple
Dealers are.  No offense, I've just had a lot of bad experiences with dealers.
Well, anyway, like I said you dealer is right, as there is no Word Processor
that creates postscript files on the GS.  The good news is that the System
Software creates the postscript files.  That means any word processor that 
prints files using the operating systems calls (ie. the printer settings in the
control panel NDA) can create postscript files.  
	If you want to know how, mail me something and I'll mail you back
a file I typed up that can show you how.  If enough people are interested in
this, then I'll post it here.  

	Send E-mail to let me know!
