I received the updated version of PageStream (V1.5), and have been trying
to write PostScript output to disk, since I don't have a PS printer on my
machine.  So far I've been singularly unsuccessful.

Does anyone have the procedure down pat?  I suspect the problem may have
something to do with not having the required fonts on the output disk, though
I have loaded the font disk when prompted.

I have a 1040ST with only the one (double-sided) disk drive.

While I have your attention, do you know how to make polygons correctly?
With the latest version I don't seem to be able to make PageStream stop
adding segments.  The manual says to double click, but that doesn't stop it.
I have finally just moved the cursor to another icon in the toolbox (such
as "object"), but then the program doesn't recognize the polygon as an object.

Finally, is there not presently a way to get splines, as described in the
manual (see "reshape" command, which appears in the documentation, but not
in the online menus).

Thanks for your enlightenment.  In general I quite like PageStream, and
look forward to learning how to use it effectively.
