Hi all! I was reading January's MacUser and noticed a reference to a little known PostScript feature for the LaserWriter and MacWrite. If you have a public domain font known as "PostScript Escape" and you use it to type PostScript code at the beginning of a MacWrite document, the things in the PS-Escape font (only) will be interpreted as PostScript commands. In other words, if you have this font, you can do some funky things PostScript in ANY word processor. Another nice feature is that when you finish the code in this font, if you put it into 9 point, it collapses to be 1 pixel high, thusly preserving (somewhat) the WYSIWYG-ness of MacWrite minus the PS. If anyone has this font, please mail it to me or post it or just respond to this message. Thanks much. Jeffrey A.
