This question has been debated _several_ times in this group. Another question is about including raw postscript code in a document. The answer is: make a font called "Postscript Escape", then everything written in this font will be understood as postscript commands. You could change the name of the escape- font in the LW-driver: it's contained in a STR -resource (in my version its ID is -8188). These tricks are features in the LaserWriter driver. It doesen't matter what program you use. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you don't have a LW connected to your Mac you must use a System which alredy have choosen a LW. Once this is done you could make your PS-files at home. (Note: You must set AppleTalk to true.) /Olle
