There is a way to have the Apple software dump the Postscript output to a
file called "Postscript" on the disk, instead of to the LaserWriter.  I do
NOT know if all the "AldusPrep" stuff works with this too, or not, but it
works with all the other programs (Word 3.0, SuperPaint, etc.).  I'm just
nervous as to whether ALdusPrep will screw things up.

INSTRUCTIONS (you're ready to print in PageMaker):

1) Use the Chooser DA to select the LaserWriter driver... even though you
   have no LaserWriter hooked up.

2) Pull down the "PRINT" Menu.

3) Hit print as you normally would -- and immediately after, HIT Command-F
   and hold it down (Hit Command-K if you want to save the 
   LaserPrep/AldusPrep(?) code in front of the PostScript commands).  A
   message will come up saying "Saving Postscript to disk".

4) You know have a text file on disk full of PostScript, which can be
   uploaded to vaxen, etc.  You can then just send the text file to the
   printer via the Vaxen print command, after uploading it.

5) Oops -- oh, yeah.  I always use Command-K, saving the LaserPrep with the
   code... but there's something else you have to do to get the LaserFonts
   to be preserved (otherwise, you get all courier).  This is assuming you
   have a LaserWriter+... these statements need to be placed before the
   "%EndProlog" statement (again, I know you have an "%EndProlog" statement
   when you save via Command-K -- but I don't know about Command-F.  If
   you're not using a LaserWriter+, I assumed Command-F would be better.

   Here are the statements...

% Place this before the EndProlog statement.
