	Here are the steps to creat a Postscript File.

	1.) Go to the Control Panel(NDA or CDA) and set slot 7 to AppleTalk.
		(For those who have Vulcans, move it, and don't pseduo
		 slot it to 7)

	2.) Use Apple's Installer and install the LaserWriter drivers.

	3.) Reboot

	4.) Go to the Control Panel (NDA) and click on the LaserWriter
	    icon.  It will open three windows: Select a LaserWriter, 
	    AppleTalk Zones, and  User Name.  If you don't have a LaserWriter
	    the Select a LaserWriter will be empty, click on the empty
	    window(this will tell the computer that I still want to use a
	    LaserWriter).  If you do have a LaserWriter, click on it. 
	    Ok the selections.

	5.) Now when you print under the "File" from the menu bar.  The 
	    programme should give you a LaserWriter box.

	6.) Now, here is the crux, just before hitting the "Print" button
 	    hold down open-apple-F, and then hit the "Print" button at the
	    same time.  Continue holding OA-F until you get a dialog box that
	    says "creating a postscript file"

	7.) Fin.  This should work...  also I think it saves files under the
	    filename "PostScript.GS" and a suffix of a two digit number.

                  

	Good Luck.

	Bevan Wang
