[comp.text.desktop] backspaces in strings not working - help!!

dwb@hare.udev.cdc.com (dw block x-4621) (03/15/90)

Help!!  I have a postscript file with \b characters embedded in my text
strings; e.g.,

(I want to underscore _\bX some characters)

According to the red book (PostScript Language Reference Manual), page 23,
this should work.  But when I send the file to our Apple LaserWrite II,
I get a space substituted for each \b.  What's wrong???
