I have been using Framemaker on the NeXT.  I have created a document
that is 10 X 13.  When I print to a file, some odd things happen.
When I first select print, Frame tells me the document is bigger than
a standart sheet of paper.  I click on okay and let it print to file.
When I preview the .ps file, everything has been scaled to fit on a 
8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper.  Frame says they are aware of this problem.
Tech support said put a line like:

b4tray b4

After the line that reads, "PaperSize: Letter".  There
isn't a line that says that in the .ps file!  So I tried putting the
b4tray 4 line in anyway.  No difference.  I have a deadline for this
book on July 5th.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I don't know any
postscript, so any thoughts are encouraged.
Here's what seems to be the relative part:

I've read about a statusdict command, do I need to issue one here?

Thanks a lot,
