You can create a PICT resource out of a part of an Illustrator document by
holding down the Option key while selecting Copy.  You can paste this
picture into a word processor (for example) and when printing on a Postscript
printer the Illustrator Postscript will be used.

I'm not sure how you would convert the picture on the Clipboard to a PICT
file.  You can paste it into a drawing program, but you would lose the
picture comments that contain the Postscript representation.--
