I have just started to muck around with some postscript and wondering
how the values of the transpose function are intpreted.  On the apple
laserwriter I am using:
90 rotate
0 -617 translate
Or pretty close to this right our the the RGB books.  What do these values
for the translate refer to?  I would assume that it is the largest print area
on the laser writer or something like that.

Could somebody clarify this for me please.  I shall then stick to mostly
reading and learn.  Thanks.
