It sounds to me that the subject of postscript has recieved fairly
short thrift in the WP manual. The postscript format, or the 
encapsulated postscript format (which is what WP probably wants) has
a bit more to it than that. There is a variety of information on
PS file formats available from the Adobe Postscript File Server
(adobe!ps-file-server@sun.com), send the usual one line message of
"help" for more info.

The only way I know of to send postscript to diskfile on a Mac is 
through an obscure part of the print command in Aldus Pagemaker.
If you hold down the command and option keys when you hit the 
"print" button in the print dialogue box, you will get another
undocumented dialogue box offering you print to disk options.
I'm not sure, but I think this is a part of the Aldus Prep print
driver. I have tried, unsuccessfully to print to disk from
Cricket Draw and a couple of other packages, and Pagemaker seems
to be the only one this works in.
